Answer:
Choice B is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
The Interquartile Range (IQR) for Florida, 11, is greater than the IQR for Australia, 4.
The spread of a data set is a measure of the dispersion or variability of the data set. The spread can be measured by various statistical quantities depending on the nature of the data (skewed or symmetric);
The IQR
Variance
Standard Deviation
Range
A box plot is a graphical representation of the five number summary;
The minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and the maximum value in that order.
The IQR is defined as;
third quartile - first quartile
With this definition, the Interquartile Range (IQR) for Florida is;
28 - 17 = 11
while the Interquartile Range (IQR) for Australia is;
14 - 10 = 4
Therefore, the Interquartile Range (IQR) for Florida, 11, is greater than the IQR for Australia, 4.
