Let analyse all possible answers:

• a. The median for the mussel volume is greater than the median for the oyster volume.

Wrong, The median for the mussel volume is SMALLER than the median for the oyster volume.

• b. The range in data for the oyster volume is greater than for the mussel volume.

True. Because The range in data for the oyster is (13-8) = 5 while the range in data for the oyster is (11 - 7.5) = 3.5

• c. Oysters tend to have more volume than mussels

True. As it can be seen in the photo

• d. The IQR is less for the mussel volume than for the oyster volume

True. As it can be seen in the photo

• e. There is greater variation of oysters volumes than mussel volumes

True.

Hope it will find you well.
