Julie conducts an experiment to find the average word length in a book for a 4th grader and a book for a 8th grader. She finds that for the fourth grade book the mean word length is 5 letters with a range of 6 and for the 8th grade book the mean word length is 6 letters with a range of 9. Which statement is true?

The average word length is higher in the 8th grade book than in the 4th grade book, but the range is also higher.
