Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Recall box - plot concepts

Range = Maximum - Minimum, Inter - quartile range (IQR)=Q3 - Q1.

Step2: Analyze option A

For winter: Maximum is around 75, minimum is around 15, range = 75 - 15=60. For summer: Maximum is around 90, minimum is around 30, range = 90 - 30 = 60.

Step3: Analyze option B

Median of summer is around 60, maximum of winter is around 75. They are not equal.

Step4: Analyze option C

For winter: Q1 is around 30, Q3 is around 60, IQR = 60 - 30=30. For summer: Q1 is around 45, Q3 is around 75, IQR = 75 - 45 = 30.

Step5: Analyze option D

Minimum of summer is around 30, first - quartile of winter is around 30.

Answer:

A. The range of number of minutes outside is the same in the summer and in the winter.
