City A is likely to have a colder temperatures because the interquartile range is smaller than that of City B.
City A is likely to have temperatures that remain fairly constant year round because it has a compact interquartile range compared to that of City B.
City A is likely to have very hot days and extreme temperatures because the mean is larger than that of City B.
City B is likely to have more warm days than City A because the maximum value is greater.
City B is likely to have more extreme temperatures with colder days in winter and hotter days in summer because the range is greater than that of A.

Answer:

The correct options are;

Therefore, City A is likely to have temperatures that remain fairly constant all year round because it has a compact interquartile range compared to that of City B

City B is likely to have more extreme temperatures with colder days in the winter and hotter days in the summer because the range is greater than that of A

Explanation:

Here we have for City A

Maximum - Minimum = 10

Interquartile range =3

City B

Maximum - Minimum = 18.5

Interquartile range =9.5

Therefore, City A is likely to have temperatures that remain fairly constant all year round because it has a compact interquartile range compared to that of City B

City B is likely to have more extreme temperatures with colder days in the winter and hotter days in the summer because the range is greater than that of A.
