Question

Please show your work. The data modeled by the box plots represents the battery life of two different brand of batteries that Jill tested.

Answer 1

(a) Brand X median  = 13
      Brand Y median = 16

Median is the center dot in the shaded box (in blue color). Look at the Time (h) axis for their values. For Brand X it is 13 whereas for the Brand Y it is 16

(b) If we compare their median values we can see that the difference is 3 hours (16-13 = 3). It means that the Brand Y battery will last longer compared to Brand X battery as Brand Y lasts for 16 hours whereas Brand X battery lasts for 13 hours.
