If x = 1, the base areas are the same. But if x is greater than 1, then Box 2 has a greater base area. Therefore, Box 2 is likely to occupy more space on the shelf.

Base area of box 1: 3x2= 6 (this value remains constant)
base area of box 2 if x=0
4x2-0= 8>6
base area of box 2 if x=1
4x2-1= 7>6
base area of box 2 if x=2
4x2-2= 6
base area of box 2 if x=3
4x2-3=5<6
base area of box 2 if x=4
4x2-4=4<6
base area of box 2 if x=5
4x2-5=3<6
base area of box 2 if x=6
4x2-6=2<6
base area of box 2 if x=7
4x2-7=1<6
box 2 is more likely to occupy more space on the shelf. It has a probability of 5/8 of occupying more space on the shelf.
