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.

Answer 1

*see attachement.

Answer:

Country A because it has a smaller interquartile range

Step-by-step explanation:

A smaller interquartile range connotes that the data in the distribution do not vary much, while a larger interquartile range would suggest the data vary much.

Therefore, the island that would have an average speed close to its median would be the island whose interquartile range is smaller.

Thus, Country A has a smaller interquartile range, so therefore, it would have a daily wind speed close to its median.
