Answer 1

Given the box plots, we are asked to find the greater range.

Step-by-step explanation

An image of the graph that maps out the range can be seen below.

For Box Plot 1( George's morning snacks)

`\begin{gathered} Upper\text{ Value}\approx262.5 \\ Lower\text{ Value}\approx87.5 \\ Range=Upper\text{ Value-Lower Value =262.5-87.5}\approx\text{175} \end{gathered}`

For Box Plot 2 (George's afternoon snacks)

`\begin{gathered} Upper\text{ Value}\approx475 \\ Lower\text{ Value}\approx225 \\ Range=Upper\text{ Value-Lower Value =475-225}\approx250 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, if we find the difference in the two box plot ranges

`range2\text{ - range1=250-175=75}\approx80`

Answer: The range of calories in George’s morning snacks is about 80 Less than the range of calories in his afternoon snacks.
