    Orlando

    Median = 67.5

    Interquartile Range = Q₃ - Q₁ = 71.5 - 65.5 = 6

    Range = Max Value - Min Value = 72.5 - 64.5 = 8

    Tampa Bay

    Median = 62.25

    Interquartile Range = Q₃ - Q₁ = 72.5 - 63.5 = 9

    Range = Max Value - Min Value = 74 - 60 = 14

    From the three values that we can read from the box plots, Orlando has the higher median, lower interquartile range and lower range.

    Lower interquartile range and range indicates a more consistent data, so we can say that Orlando has more consistent warmer temperature than Tampa Bay.

    Dominick should visit Orlando
