Question

the boxplot below shows salaries for construction workers and teachers. jennie makes the median salary for a construction worker. markos makes the median salary for a teacher. who makes more money? o jennie o markos how much more? $

Explanation:

Step1: Identify medians from box - plot

Median for teachers is around $35000$ (since it is the middle - line inside the box of the teachers' box - plot), and median for construction workers is around $45000$ (middle - line inside the box of the construction workers' box - plot). Markos makes the median salary for a teacher ($35000$) and Jennie makes the median salary for a construction worker ($45000$).

Step2: Calculate the difference

To find out who makes more and by how much, we subtract the smaller median from the larger median. $45000−35000 = 10000$.

Answer:

Jennie makes more money. The difference is $\$10000$.
