Comparing Box Plots

Question 10 • Math 7 B (M12 25/26 S2)

Kevin wanted to go snowboarding for his vacation. Explain how he could make his decision regarding whether to go to Resort A or Resort B based on the snowfall data from the box plots.

Answer

Answer:

Resort A has more consistent snowfall, so it shows less variation. However, the snowfall for Resort B has a higher median, and the interquartile range is higher (not larger), so it is more likely that Kevin will find a good snowfall at Resort B.
