Question

13) A school counselor asked a random sample of seventh- and eighth-

grade students how long it takes them to get ready for school each
morning. The dot plot and the box plot below summarize the results for
the two random samples. Which statement correctly describes the two
data sets below? *

Answer 1

A. The range of both data sets is 40

Explanation:

Range = the maximum value - the minimum value

✔️For the Seventh-Grade Students' data set,

Maximum value = 45

Minimum Value = 5

Range = 45 - 5 = 40

✔️✔️For the Eight-Grade Students' data set,

Maximum value = 45 (the value at the whisker to your far right)

Minimum Value = 5 (value indivl ated by the whisker on your far left)

Range = 45 - 5 = 40

Therefore, the two data sets can be described as having the same range of 40.
