A. The median for town A, 20, is less than the median for town B, 30°

Step-by-step Explanation:

The median of town A and town B, as can be observed from box plots in the diagram attached below, can be gotten by locating the data points where the line divides the box into 2.

For town A, the data point at which a line divides the box is at 20⁰, while for town B, the data point at which the line divides the box is at 30⁰.

Median for town A is 20⁰, while median for town B is 30⁰. Therefore, the statement that most appropriately compare the centers is A. "The median for town A, 20, is less than the median for town B, 30°".

Answer:

Ronique's team won at least 24 games in 75% of the season that they played.

Step-by-step explanation:

(The box-whisker plot below will show everything, but I'll explain it in detail because I want to be more helpful)

So... we have seven data points.

2014 - 15 (Year 1): 31 wins

2015 - 16 (Year 2): 24 wins

2016 - 17 (Year 3): 32 wins

2017 - 18 (Year 4): 22 wins

2018 - 19 (Year 5): 34 wins

2019 - 20 (Year 6): 28 wins

2020 - 21 (Year 7): 38 wins

We need a box & whisker plot for this.

22 will go on the left whisker, since it's the lowest of the data points. 38 will go on the right whisker, since it's the highest.

For the two quartiles, 24 is the first quartile, so from that point to the right whisker, that's 75% of the data. The third quartile will be 34. And the midline will be at 31, since it's the median of the data points.

From that explanation, we can be sure that Ronique's team won at least 24 games in 75% of the seasons that they played.
