Official Explanation
Statement 1: The range is the difference between the highest and lowest values. Sort on men to identify the maximum and minimum, and subtract to find a range of 33.7 – 16.9 = 16.8 percentage points. Sort on women and recalculate: 24.8 – 7.5 = 17.3 points. In fact, the women’s data has the larger range.
Answer: False
Statement 2: Use the calculator to determine the difference for each ethnic group: For white, 24.5 – 19.8 = 4.7; for black, 23.9 – 19.2 = 4.7; for Asian, 16.9 – 7.5 = 9.4; for Hispanic, 19.0 – 9.8 = 9.2; for American Indian and Alaska Native, 29.7 – 16.7 = 13.0; and for multiple race, 33.7 – 24.8 = 8.9. The greatest difference in any ethnic group between the percentage of men and the percentage of women admitting to smoking actually occurs among American Indians and Alaska Natives.
