2 box plots. The number line goes from 4 to 14. For Jason's Hours of Sleep for 9 nights, the whiskers range from 7 to 13, and the box ranges from 7.5 to 9. A line divides the box at 8. For Mitch's Hours of Sleep for 9 Nights, the whiskers range from 7 to 10, and the box ranges from 7.2 to 10. A line divides the box at 9.5.

Compare the two sets of data. Who gets more sleep? Why?

Jason, because he gets higher median hours of sleep

Jason, because he has less variability in sleep hours

Mitch, because he gets higher median hours of sleep

Mitch, because his maximum hours of sleep were greater than Jason's maximum
