Answer 1

Given:

Required:

We need to find the median of both town A and town B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the median of the box plot is the middle line of the box.

The median of town A is 30°.

The median of town B is 25º.

We know that 30 is greater than 25.

The median for town A, 30°, is greater than the median for town B, 25º.

Final answer:

The median for town A, 30°, is greater than the median for town B, 25º.
