Consider the following box plots which reprsents the number of runs scored by two softball teams during a season.

Determine the median of the runs scored by the Panthers. _____
Determine the median of the runs scored by the Lynx. _____
Based on the box plots, the Lynx are likely to score _______ the Panthers in the game because the Panther's median is ______ the median for the Lynx.

To determine the medians of the runs scored by the Panthers and the Lynx based on the box plots, I would need to see the box plots you are referring to. Unfortunately, I can't visualize images or graphics.

However, I can guide you on how to identify the medians from box plots:

  1. Locate the Medians on the Box Plots:

    • The median is represented by the line inside the box of the box plot. It divides the dataset into two equal halves.
  2. Identify the Values:

    • Look for the value of the median for the Panthers (this will be the line inside the box for the Panthers' plot).
    • Do the same for the Lynx.
  3. Comparison:

    • Once you have both medians, compare them. If the median for the Lynx is higher, you can say that "the Lynx are likely to score more than the Panthers in the game because the Panthers' median is less than the median for the Lynx." If the median for the Panthers is higher, use "less than" accordingly.

If you provide the actual values or characteristics of the box plots, I can help you determine the specific medians and make the comparison!
