Question

Which statement is true about the ranges for the box plots?

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Range of a box plot is the highest value minus the lowest value.

The picture attached shows which one is the highest value and which one is the lowest value.

From our understanding and given graphs:

• The first Box Plot's Highest Value is 15 and Lowest Value is 3.

Range = Highest - Lowest = 15 - 3 = 12

• The second Box Plot's Highest Value is 16 and Lowest Value is 4.

Range = Highest - Lowest = 16 - 4 = 12

Thus, the range of both the box plots are same. Answer choice A is right.

Answer 2

A. The range of the Morning box plot is the same as the range of the Afternoon box plot.

Subtract the minimum from the maximum and your answer for both box plots will be 12. So the range is the same for the Afternoon and Morning Box Plots. Hope this helps :)
