Write a recursive method public static int teddy(int initial, int goal, int increment) that simulates a variant of the “teddy bears” game between the player (you) and your friend, and returns the minimum number of steps you would need to end up with goal bears. you start with an initial number of stuffed bears. during each step of the game you may perform one of the following actions: (a) ask for and receive increment more bears from your friend; (b) give away increment of your bears to your friend; (c) if you have an even number of bears, you can give exactly half your bears to your friend; or (d) if you have an even number of bears, you can take an additional number of bears equal to half your current number of bears. if you fail to obtain the goal within 10 steps, the method returns -1. you may write methods if you like.

Explain the circumstances for which the interquartile range is the preferred measure of dispersion. what is an advantage that the standard deviation has over the interquartile range? choose the correct answer below. a. the interquartile range is preferred when the distribution is symmetric. an advantage of the standard deviation is that it increases as the dispersion of the data increases. b. the interquartile range is preferred when the data are not skewed or no have outliers. an advantage of the standard deviation is that it uses all the observations in its computation. c. the interquartile range is preferred when the distribution is symmetric. an advantage of the standard deviation is that it is resistant to extreme values. d. the interquartile range is preferred when the data are bell shaped. an advantage of the standard deviation is that it is resistant to extreme values. e. the interquartile range is preferred when the data are skewed or have outliers. an advantage of the standard deviation is that it uses all the observations in its computation. f. the interquartile range is preferred when the data are bell shaped. an advantage of the standard deviation is that it increases as the dispersion of the data increases.
