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

A number line goes from 0 to 16. Morning's whiskers range from 3 to 15, and the box ranges from 5 to 12. A line divides the box at 8. Afternoon's whiskers range from 4 to 16, and the box ranges from 8 to 15. A line divides the box at 14.

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

The range of the Morning box plot is 1 less than the range of the Afternoon box plot.

The range of the Morning box plot is 1 more than the range of the Afternoon box plot.

The range of the Morning box plot is 2 less than the range of the Afternoon box plot

Adam Ritter · Answer 1

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

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question

Number line = 0 to 16

Morning whiskers range = 3 to 15

Box range = 5 to 12

Line divided = 8

Afternoon whiskers range = 4 to 16

Box range = 8 to 15

Line divided = 14

Based on the above information,

The morning whiskers range difference is

= 12 - 5

= 7

And, the afternoon whiskers range difference is

= 15 - 8

= 7

Therefore the first option is correct
