Question

Which statement is true about the ranges for the box plots? A variety of two types of snack packs are delivered to a store. The box plots compare the number of calories in each snack pack of crackers to the number of calories in each snack pack of trail mix.

Answer 1

Answer: D. The number of calories in the packs of trail mix have a greater variation than the number of calories in the packs of crackers.

Answer 2

*The box plots are shown in the attachment

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Range is the difference between the largest value of a data set and the lowest value in that data set.

In a box plot, the highest value is located at the end of the whisker to our right, while the lowest value is located at the beginning of the whisker of the box plot at our left.

For Crackers, the range = 100-70 = 30

For Cookies, the range = 115-70 = 45

Therefore, we can conclude that the range value of the number of calories in crackers (30) is less/lower than that of cookies (45).
