Question

The box plots show the average wind speeds, in miles per hour, for two different islands.
Average Wind Speeds on Island A
2 box plots. The number line goes from 1 to 11. For the average wind speeds of cities on Island A, the whiskers range from 1 to 9.5, and the box ranges from 3 to 7. A line divides the box at 4. For the average wind speeds of cities on Island B, the whiskers range from 1.5 to 11, and the box ranges from 4 to 9. A line divides the box at 6.
Average Wind Speeds on Island B

Which explains, on a given day, which island is more likely to have a wind speed close to its median?
Country A because the median is closer to one end of the box in the box plot.
Country B because the median is closer to the center of the box in the box plot.
Country A because it has a smaller interquartile range.
Country B because it has a larger interquartile range.

Answer 1

Answer:The correct answer would most likely be Country A. (The second one.)    

Step-by-step explanation:

The reasoning for that would be because if you have a smaller interquartile range, it would most likely be closer to the median and won't have a chance of falling farther.

Answer 2

The island that is more probable to possess a wind speed nearer to its median would be as follows:

C). Country A because it has a smaller interquartile range.

• "Median" is described as the middle number that functions to "isolate the higher half of a particular data from its lower half."
• In the given data, Country A is more probable to possess a wind speed nearer to the median.
• The reason behind this is that it carries a smaller/lower interquartile range(50% values in the middle ranging from the very lowest to the highest").

Thus, option C is the correct answer.
