To draw conclusions about the data from the survey of ice cream cones consumed by two groups of kids, let’s analyze the possible responses provided:

  1. The range for Group 2 is greater than the range for Group 1.

    • This statement can only be confirmed by examining the maximum and minimum values of both groups in the line plot.
  2. The overlap between Group 1 and Group 2 is low.

    • This would require looking at the frequency of the values for each group. If there are few shared values, then this statement might hold true.
  3. The median of Group 2 is greater than the median of Group 1.

    • To determine this, you would need to calculate the median for both groups from the data.
  4. The mode is the same for both sets of data.

    • The mode is the value that appears most frequently in each group. This statement can be verified by identifying the most common number for each group.

Since the actual line plot is not visible in this context, you will need to evaluate each of these statements against the data presented. If you have access to the line plot or numerical data regarding the number of ice cream cones eaten, you could check the values of the range, median, mode, and overlaps to confirm which, if any, of the conclusions are true.

Can you provide specific values or descriptions from the line plot? That way, a more definitive conclusion could be drawn regarding the statements provided.
