Step-by-step explanation:

We have given a table. According to that table  a survey about the amount of time students spend doing homework each week has been conducted. The students were either in college or in high school. Now which of the choices below best describes how to measure the spread of this data.

The correct option is: The college spread is best described by the standard deviation. The high school spread is best described by the IQR.
