Question

Hey I need help on this math problem ignore the lines across the answer choices it’s a glitch I can’t change it and the lines don’t mean that the answer choice is wrong

Answer 1

Given:

Two box plots for city A and city B.

A box plot with its representations is shown:

From the box plot given:

For City A :

`\begin{gathered} City\text{ A:} \\ Q_3=78 \\ Q_1=76 \\ Interquartile\text{ range \lparen IQR\rparen}=Q_3-Q_1 \\ IQR=78-76 \\ IQR=2 \end{gathered}`

For City B :

`\begin{gathered} City\text{ B:} \\ Q_3=78 \\ Q_1=68 \\ Interquartile\text{ range \lparen IQR\rparen}=Q_3-Q_1 \\ IQR=78-68 \\ IQR=10 \end{gathered}`

From the IQR calculated, the correct answer is:

The interquartile range for city B is greater.
