Question

the box plots show the summer temperatures, in degrees fahrenheit, in two cities. summer temperatures in city a summer temperatures in city b linda is trying to decide which city to visit. she likes the summer temperature to be around 75°f. which city she should visit? she should visit city a because the temperatures are consistently closer to a median of 80°f. she should visit city b because the temperatures are consistently closer to a median of 80°f. it doesnt matter which city she visits because both medians are 5°f from 75°f. it doesnt matter which city she visits because it will likely reach 90°f in both cities.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify medians from box - plots

For City A, the median is around 80°F. For City B, the median is around 70°F.

Step2: Calculate distance from 75°F

For City A, the distance from the median (80°F) to 75°F is \(|80 - 75|=5°F\). For City B, the distance from the median (70°F) to 75°F is \(|70 - 75| = 5°F\).

Answer:

It doesn't matter which city she visits because both medians are 5°F from 75°F.
