Question

A company is testing and comparing two sunscreen formulas. The box plots show the number of hours each sunscreen lasts before reapplication is necessary. Which statement is best supported by the information in the plots? ( PLEASE GIVE EXPLANTATION )

Answer 1

Sunscreen A will likely last longer than Sunscreen B.

Explanation:

The data for the box plot of Sunscreen A is centered farther to the right than the data for the box plot of Sunscreen B. This means that the majority of data for Sunscreen A is larger than the majority of data for Sunscreen B; this means Sunscreen A will likely last longer than Sunscreen B.

Answer 2

Sunscreen A will likely last longer than Sunscreen B since the IQR is larger for A than B (the Boxed portion) therefore it's likely to be more reliable.
