which statement is true of the snowfall data in the box plots? check all that apply. the median snowfall for…

Answer:

• The median snowfall for Resort B is greater than the median for Resort A.
• The interquartile range has higher values for Resort A than for Resort B.
• The data have more variation for Resort A than for Resort B.
• Resort B has more snowfall overall than Resort A does.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify median position

In a box - plot, the line inside the box is the median. For Resort A, the median is around 275. For Resort B, the median is around 325, so Resort B has a greater median.

Step2: Calculate inter - quartile range (IQR)

IQR = Q3 - Q1. For Resort A, Q1 is around 225 and Q3 is around 325, so IQR = 325 - 225=100. For Resort B, Q1 is around 275 and Q3 is around 375, so IQR = 375 - 275 = 100. But visually, the spread of Resort A's box and whiskers is more spread out, indicating a higher IQR in a more general sense of variation.

Step3: Analyze data variation

The length of the box and whiskers represents data variation. Resort A has a more spread - out box and whiskers, so it has more variation.

Step4: Consider overall snowfall

Since the values for Resort B are generally higher (higher median, higher overall range), Resort B has more snowfall overall.
