Solution:
Given:
Two box plots for city A and city B.
A box plot with its representations is shown:
From the box plot given:
For City A :
[tex]\begin{gathered} City\text{ A:} \\ Q_3=78 \\ Q_1=76 \\ Interquartile\text{ range \lparen IQR\rparen}=Q_3-Q_1 \\ IQR=78-76 \\ IQR=2 \end{gathered}[/tex]
For City B :
[tex]\begin{gathered} City\text{ B:} \\ Q_3=78 \\ Q_1=68 \\ Interquartile\text{ range \lparen IQR\rparen}=Q_3-Q_1 \\ IQR=78-68 \\ IQR=10 \end{gathered}[/tex]
From the IQR calculated, the correct answer is:
The interquartile range for city B is greater.
