Question

question 11 of 12 (1 point) | question attempt: 1 of 3 (a) which city had more noon temperatures above 80 °f? select (b) which city had noon temperatures with a larger interquartile range (iqr)? select (c) which city had the highest noon temperature?

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze temperatures above 80°F

In a box - and - whisker plot, the right - hand side of the box and the whisker represent higher values. For City A, the upper quartile (Q3) is around 80°F and the maximum value is not much above 80°F. For City B, a significant part of the upper whisker and part of the box are above 80°F. So City B has more noon temperatures above 80°F.

Step2: Calculate interquartile range (IQR)

The IQR is the length of the box in a box - and - whisker plot, which is Q3 - Q1. By observing, the box for City B is longer than that for City A. So City B has a larger IQR.

Step3: Identify the highest temperature

The end of the upper whisker represents the maximum value. The upper whisker of City B extends further to the right than that of City A. So City B has the highest noon temperature.

Answer:

(a) City B
(b) City B
(c) City B
