Answer:
We would recommend the Country Route as its travel time is consistently estimated between 15 and 18 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Jean lives approximately 10 miles away from the college where she plans to attend a summer class lasting ten weeks. She has two primary routes available, one that traverses the city and another that goes through the countryside.
Jean has set up a randomized trial in which she flips a coin each day to determine her travel route, collecting data from five days for both.
Country Route - 17, 15, 17, 16, 18 (in minutes)
City Route - 18, 13, 20, 10, 16 (in minutes)
Next, we need to evaluate which route is superior for Jean.
The data indicates that the Country route has timing ranging from 15 to 18 minutes, suggesting she will typically arrive within this timeframe.
Conversely, the City route timings show significant variation with a minimum of 10 minutes and a maximum of 20 minutes, indicating uncertainty regarding her arrival time.
Hence, it is advisable for her to select the Country route.
