The following data represent exam scores in a statistics class taught using traditional lecture and a class taught using a "flipped" classroom. Complete parts (a) through (c) below.

(a) Which course has more dispersion in exam scores using the range as the measure of dispersion?
The traditional course has a range of ,while the "flipped" course has a range of The course has more dispersion.
(Type integers or decimals. Do not round.)
(b) Which course has more dispersion in exam scores using the sample standard deviation as the measure of dispersion?
The traditional course has a standard deviation of ,while the "flipped" course has a standard deviation of .The course has more dispersion.
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)
(c) Suppose the score of in the traditional course was incorrectly recorded as .How does this affect the range?
The range is now
(Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.)
How does this affect the standard deviation?
The standard deviation is now
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)
What property does this illustrate?
A. Both the range and the standard deviation are resistant.
B. The standard deviation is resistant, but the range is not resistant.
C. Neither the range nor the standard deviation is resistant.
D. The range is resistant, but the standard deviation is not resistant.
We are calculating Range and standard deviation using Excel and the function for the same are shown in the attached photoa)The traditional course has a range of 27.3273 ,while the "flipped" course has a range of 28.5285 . The Flipped course has more dispersion.
b)The traditional course has a standard deviation of 8.695 ,while the"flipped" course has a standard deviation of 7.858 .The traditional course has more dispersion.
c) This part is incomplete as the values are not given.When you get the values,simply change those value in excel and use the same function as in part a) and b) and you will get the desired result.
