1. A retail store started a new inventory system on January 1, 2019.

What conclusion could be made using the median and interquartile range from the date
A. The median for 2018 is 83
which is greater than 71, the median for 2019. The interquartile range for 2018 is 16 which is greater than the interquartile range for 2019, 13
B. The median for 2018 is 83
which is greater than 70.5, the median for 2019. The interquartile range for 2018 is 9 which is greater than the interquartile range for 2019, 8
C. The median for 2018 is 69 which is less than 82.5, the median for 2019. The interquartile range for 2018 is 8.5, which is the same as the interquartile range for 2019.
D. The median for 2018 is 82
which is greater than 72, the median for 2019. The interquartile range for 2018 is 8 which is less than the interquartile range for 2019, 9.5

A. The median for 2018 is 83 which is greater than 71, the median for 2019. The interquartile range for 2018 is 16 which is greater than the interquartile range for 2019, 13. This suggests that in 2018, there were more units missing from inventory on average and that the amount of variability in missing units was greater in 2018 compared to 2019.
