The box plot shows the heights of grade 7 students in two random samples from two different schools. The sample from each school
is 30% of the student population. Based on the box plot, which comparison is true? image
A.
Grade 7 students from School A are typically taller than grade 7 students from School B because of the difference in the interquartile ranges of grade 7 student heights at the schools
B.
Grade 7 students from School A are typically taller than grade 7 students from School B because of the difference in the medians of grade 7 student heights at the schools.
C.
Grade 7 students from School A are typically shorter than grade 7 students from School B because of the difference in the interquartile ranges of grade 7 student heights at the schools.
D.
Grade 7 students from School A are typically shorter than grade 7 students from School B because of the difference in the medians of grade 7 student heights at the schools.
The true statement is Grade 7 students from School A are typically shorter than grade 7 students from School B because of the difference in the medians of grade 7 student heights at the schools. (option D)
<h3>What is the true statement?</h3>
A box plot is used to study the distribution and level of a set of scores. The box plot consists of two lines and a box. the two lines are known as whiskers.
The end of the first line represents the minimum number and the end of the second line represents the maximum number.
On the box, the first line to the left represents the lower (first) quartile. The next line on the box represents the median. The third line on the box represents the upper (third) quartile.
You have to calculate the rise over run. See how many times it rises from the bottom. Then see how many times it takes horizontally to get to the next corner. Not sure if this helped but I tried sorry lol (but dw the answer is correct)
