Question

The Bluejays and the Sparrows are two baseball teams. Rajib recorded the number of hits per season theplayers scored in the past 5 years in two box-and-whisker plots. The number of hits per year scored by Bluejaysplayers is the top plot, and the number of hits per year scored by Sparrows players is the bottom plot. Comparethe medians and ranges.

Answer 1

The median of a data set is the middle data while the range of a data set is the difference between the highest data and the lowest data.

For Bluejay's team, the median hit is 40

For Sparrow's team, the median hit is 32

Thus, we can deduce that Bluejay's median is 8 greater that the Sparrow's.

For Bluejay's team, the highest hit is 50 and the lowest hit is 25, thus the range is 50-25=25.

For Sparrow's team, the highest hit is 40 and the lowest hit is 20, thus the range is 40-20=20.

Thus, we can deduce that the Bluejay's range is 5 greater the Sparrow's.

Hence, the correct option is option C
