Question

Data Set: 81,81,81,78,80,82,77,77,83,84,81,78,80,74,81,71,74,75,83,84,73,79

a. What percentage of the players fall between 78 in –83 in, inclusive?

b. What percentage of the players are below 74 in, exclusive?

Answer 1

A. (number of players between 78-83 in. tall) ÷ (total number of players) * 100

Inclusive means that if someone is 78 in. exactly or 83 in. exactly, then you would include them as players that are within the range.

B. (number of players that are less than 74 in.) ÷ (total number of players) * 100

Exclusive means if someone is exactly 74 in., then you would NOT include them in the number of players that are below 74 in.
