This question: 1 point(s) possible
Select the correct choice below.
A. The statement is true. The range for a set of data in the difference between the largest and the smallest values in the data set. As the data set of the sample contains the elements outside
the population, the range for the sample set should be less than or equal to the range of the population.
B. The statement is false. The range for a set of data in the difference between the largest and the smallest values in the data set. As the data set of the sample does not contain the elements in
the population, the range for the sample set should be always greater than the range of the whole population.
OC. The statement is true. The range for a set of data in the difference between the largest and the smallest values in the data set. As the data set of the sample contains the elements in the population, the
range for the sample set should be less than or equal to the range of the population.
OD. The statement is false. The range for a set of data in the difference between the largest and the smallest values in the data set. As the data set of the sample contains the elements outside
the population, the range for the sample set should be greater than the range of the whole population.
