Use the following information to answer the next nine exercises: The population parameters below describe the full-time equivalent number of students (FTES) each year at Lake Tahoe Community College from 1976–1977 through 2004–2005.

• μ = 1000 FTES

• median = 1,014 FTES

• σ = 474 FTES

• first quartile = 528.5 FTES

• third quartile = 1,447.5 FTES

• n = 29 years

Compare the IQR for the FTES for 1976–77 through 2004–2005 with the IQR for the FTES for 2005-2006 through 2010–2011. Why do you suppose the IQRs are so different?
