The box plots show the average wind speeds in miles per hour, for various cities in two different countries.

Average Wind Speeds of cities in Country A

Average Wind Speeds of cities in Country B

Which statement compares the median wind speeds for the data in the two box plots?

The median wind speed for country Ais greater than the median wind speed for country B.

The median wind speed for country B is greater than the median wind speed for country A.

The median wind speed for country A is about 7 miles per hour, and the median wind speed for country B is about 9 miles

Question:

a. The median wind speed for country A is greater than the median wind speed for country B.

b. The median wind speed for country B is greater than the median wind speed for country A.

c. The median wind speed for country A is about 7 miles per hour, and the median wind speed for country B is about 9 miles

Answer:

The correct option is;

b. The median wind speed for country B is greater than the median wind speed for country A

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure of the box plot, we have;

The median of the Average Wind Speed of cities in Country A = 4 miles per hour

The median of the Average Wind Speed of cities in Country B = 6 miles per hour

Therefore, the median of the Average Wind Speed of cities in Country B is greater than the median of the Average Wind Speed of cities in Country A. The correct option = b.
