Four gardeners record the weight, in pounds, of 5 pumpkins they grew. Which statement about the weights of the pumpkins is true? Gardener Pumpkin Weights (lbs) Kylie 20, 21, 33, 40, 29 Mark 14, 19, 45, 20, 22 Todd 15, 15, 15, 30, 22 Greg 33, 34, 36, 39, 33 The maximum weight recorded by any of the gardeners is 40 pounds. The mean weight of Mark’s pumpkins is the greatest. The range of weights for Greg’s pumpkins is the least. The mode of the weights of Greg and Kylie’s pumpkins is the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The correct answer is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The range of weights for Greg\u2019s pumpkins is the least.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To determine which statement is true<\/strong>, we need to evaluate the following for each gardener:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

1. Maximum Weight Recorded<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Look at the highest pumpkin weight for each gardener:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Kylie<\/strong>: 40<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Mark<\/strong>: 45<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Todd<\/strong>: 30<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Greg<\/strong>: 39<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    \n

    The maximum is 45 pounds<\/strong>, not 40. So this statement is false<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    2. Mean Weight of Mark\u2019s Pumpkins<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Calculate the mean<\/strong> (average) for each gardener:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Kylie<\/strong>: (20 + 21 + 33 + 40 + 29) \/ 5 = 28.6<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Mark<\/strong>: (14 + 19 + 45 + 20 + 22) \/ 5 = 24<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Todd<\/strong>: (15 + 15 + 15 + 30 + 22) \/ 5 = 19.4<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Greg<\/strong>: (33 + 34 + 36 + 39 + 33) \/ 5 = 35<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \n

      Greg\u2019s mean is the greatest. So this statement is false<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

      \n\n\n\n

      3. Range of Weights for Greg’s Pumpkins<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Calculate the range<\/strong> (max – min):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Kylie<\/strong>: 40 – 20 = 20<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Mark<\/strong>: 45 – 14 = 31<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Todd<\/strong>: 30 – 15 = 15<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Greg<\/strong>: 39 – 33 = 6<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        \n

        Greg\u2019s range is the smallest. So this statement is true<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

        \n\n\n\n

        4. Mode of Greg and Kylie\u2019s Pumpkins<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Kylie<\/strong>: 20, 21, 33, 40, 29 \u2192 no repeating numbers \u2192 no mode<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Greg<\/strong>: 33, 34, 36, 39, 33 \u2192 mode = 33<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
          \n

          One has a mode, the other doesn\u2019t. So this statement is false<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

          \n\n\n\n

          Conclusion:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          \u2705 The only true statement<\/strong> is:
          \u201cThe range of weights for Greg\u2019s pumpkins is the least.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
