Question

resort a – snowfall in inches resort b – snowfall in inches compare the two box plots to determine where kevin should plan to go for vacation. which statement is true about the box plots? resort as range is much greater than that of resort b. resort bs range is much greater than that of resort a. both resorts have about the same range. the range is not shown on the box plot.

Explanation:

To determine the range of a box - plot, we use the formula \( \text{Range}=\text{Maximum value}-\text{Minimum value} \).

For Resort A: The minimum value (from the left - most whisker) is 175 and the maximum value (from the right - most whisker) is 375. So the range of Resort A is \( 375 - 175=200 \).

For Resort B: The minimum value (from the left - most whisker) is 200 and the maximum value (from the right - most whisker) is 400. So the range of Resort B is \( 400 - 200 = 200 \).

Since both ranges are equal to 200, both resorts have about the same range.

Answer:

C. Both resorts have about the same range.
