Answer:
Thanksgiving, median = 17
New year's eve, median = 8
Thanksgiving, IQR = 12
New year's eve, IQR = 10
THANKSGIVING has greater variability
Explanation:
The median value of a box plot is the line which lies in the middle of the box :
From the plot, the best estimate :
Thanksgiving, median = 17
New year's eve, median = 8
THE Interquartile range, IQR is the difference between the upper quartile and lower quartile values, Q3 - Q1 ;
Lower quartile = the starting point of the box
Upper quartile = the endpoint of the box
From the plot ; Best estimate :
Thanksgiving :
Q1 = 12 ; Q3 = 24
IQR = Q3 - Q1 = 24 - 12 = 12
New year's eve :
Q1 = 5 ; Q3 = 15
IQR = Q3 - Q1 = 15 - 5 = 10
Thanksgiving :
Range = Maximum - Minimum
Range = (29 - 5) = 24
New year's eve:
Range = Maximum - Minimum
Range = 22 - 3 = 19
Hence, Thanksgiving has greater variability
