A government agency conducted energy research on two different towns. The agency selected 12 homes from each town and recorded the number of kilowatt-hours used by the homes over a one-year period. The following statistical information was calculated from their findings.
Jacobia Cantorville
Mean 11,178 11,613
Median 11,653 11,572
Mode 11,705 11,050
Range 2,137 2,188
Based on these samples, what generalization can be made?
Cantorville used more kilowatt-hours than Jacobia.
Not enough information is provided to draw any of these conclusions.
Both towns used the same number of kilowatt-hours.
There is not enough information is provided to draw any of these conclusions. The reason why is because the average in Jocobia is lower but the Median and the Mode are greater than in Cantorville.
