4.A student used a measure of spread to conclude that the movie ticket prices (in dollars) in set A were more spread out than those in set B. Which measure of spread did he use?
Set A: 10, 11, 11, 13, 15 Set B: 10, 11, 13, 13, 15

5.The class scores from a math quiz are as follows: 8, 6, 10, 5, 8, 6, 9, 7, 8, 10, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 8, 10, 5, 8, 7

Organize the data in a frequency table.

6. Maple tree diameters in a forest area are normally distributed with a mean of 10 inches and a standard deviation of 2.5 inches. In a forest of 2000 maple trees, how man would have a diameter greater than 15 inches. Hint: think of the properties of a normal graph.
