Assume there is a physician at the park clinic in Grand Canyon Village. Suppose the physician

has recorded (for a 5-year period) the number of visitor injuries at different landing points for

commercial boat trips down the Colorado River in both the Upper and Lower Grand Canyon.

Upper Canyon: Number of injuries per Landing Point Between

North Canyon and Phantom Ranch

The mean, median, and mode for Upper Canyon are 5.091, 5.0, and 5, respectively.

The mean, median, and mode for Lower Canyon are 5.214, 4.0, and 3, respectively.

Compare the mean, median, and mode found in Upper Canyon and Lower Canyon, respectively.

1. A) Lower Canyon mean is smaller than Upper Canyon, Lower Canyon median is

smaller than Upper Canyon, and Lower Canyon mode is smaller than Upper

Canyon.

1. B) Lower Canyon mean is greater than Upper Canyon, Lower Canyon median is

greater than Upper Canyon, and Lower Canyon mode is smaller than Upper

Canyon.

1. C) Lower Canyon mean is greater than Upper Canyon, Lower Canyon median is

smaller than Upper Canyon, and Lower Canyon mode is greater than Upper

Canyon.

1. D) Lower Canyon mean is greater than Upper Canyon, Lower Canyon median is

smaller than Upper Canyon, and Lower Canyon mode is smaller than Upper
