Which statement is NOT supported by the information in the box plots?

numbers of touchdowns for Team Z.
B The greatest number of touchdowns scored by players on Team X is less than the
greatest number of touchdowns scored by players on Team Z.
C The interquartile ranges for Team X and Team Z are equivalent.
D The median number of touchdowns for Team X is less than the median number of
touchdowns for Team Z.

Answer 1

The median Number of touchdowns for team X is less than the median number of touchdowns for team Z

Explanation:

The statement, median Number of touchdowns for team X is less than the median number of touchdowns for team Z isn't supported by the boxplot Given :

Median value for Number of touchdowns for team X = 3

Median value for Number of touchdowns for team Z = 2

Since 3 > 2

Then, team X median number of touchdowns is greater than team Z median number of touchdowns.
