Answer 2

We have been given two box plots. We are asked to find the difference between the range of both box plots.

The range of a box plot is difference between lower value and upper value.

`\text{Range of morning snack}=275-75`

`\text{Range of morning snack}=200`

Similarly, we will find the range of afternoon snack.

`\text{Range of afternoon snack}=375-225`

`\text{Range of afternoon snack}=150`

Now let is find difference of both ranges as:

`200-150=50`

Therefore, the range of calories in Margo’s morning snacks is about 50 more the range of calories in her afternoon snacks.
