Respuesta :

The correct answer is choice A.  Even though choice B is a correct statement, it is not the best measure of center because neither box plot shows symetric data.  Because of this, the IQR is the best measure of center.  

The correct statement is, the interquartile range for Jordan is 14 which is less than the interquartile range for Chamberlain, 29.

A box plot is used to study the distribution and level of a set of scores. the scores are distributed into 4 groups. The difference of the whiskers represent the range.

The interquartile range is the difference between the first line on the box and the third line on the box. The median is the number at the center of the box.

For Chamberlain:

  • Range = 50 - 21 = 29

  • Range = 37 - 23 = 14
