Answer 1

The statement is false because more than 50% of the contestants ate between 15 and 45 wings based on the box and whisker plot.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking whether approximately 50% of the contestants ate between 15 and 45 wings based on the given box and whisker plot. To determine if this is true or false, we need to analyze the plot.

First, we look at the box which represents the middle 50% of the data. In this case, it spans from approximately 20 wings to 35 wings. Since the range between 15 and 45 is larger than the range of the box, it means that more than 50% of the contestants ate between 15 and 45 wings. Therefore, the statement is false.

Answer 2

False because the whisker plots goes from 15 to 62.5 not 45
