Question

the box plot compares martas and anis diving scores in the first several meets of the season.
diving scores (out of a possible 10)
marta
ani
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
based on the data in the box plots, what is the best evidence to show which diver had greater overall success during the meets so far this season?
ani was more successful because she had an outlier.
marta was more successful because she received the highest score.
ani was more successful because she had the greater measure of center.
marta was more successful because she had the greater total spread.

Explanation:

1. First, analyze each option:

• Outliers do not indicate overall success, so the first option is incorrect.
• A single highest score does not represent overall success, so the second option is incorrect.
• The measure of center (median, shown by the line inside the box) for Ani is higher than Marta's, which reflects a higher typical score and better overall success.
• Greater total spread means more variability, not better success, so the fourth option is incorrect.

Answer:

Ani was more successful because she had the greater measure of center.
