Try it on paper first. A hint, the key idea and the worked solution are here when you need them.
Find the range and the interquartile range of (a) the dry days, (b) the rainy days. Which group was more alike?
The month, in degrees Celsius: , , , , , . It rained on days , to and to . Range = largest smallest. Q1 and Q3 are the medians of the lower and upper halves (leave the median out when the count is odd), and IQR .
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
Step 1. Dry days. Sorted, they run from to : range . The lower ten give , the upper ten : IQR .
Step 2. Rainy days. Sorted: . Range ; and : IQR .
Step 3. More alike. The rainy days, by both measures.
Answer: dry and ; rainy and ; the rainy days.
