To accurately determine which choice to complete the sentence with, I would need to look at the box plots showing the distribution of parked hours for both Saturday and Sunday. However, since I cannot view the box plots, I will guide you on how to analyze them based on general principles.
1. **Median Comparison**: Check the median (the line inside the box) for both days. If the median for Saturday is higher than that for Sunday, then Saturday's hours are greater. If it’s lower, then Saturday’s hours are less. If they are the same, they are equal.
2. **Interquartile Range (IQR)**: Assess the range of the data. A wider IQR on Saturday could suggest more variability in parking duration.
3. **Whiskers and Outliers**: Look at how far the whiskers extend and whether there are any outliers. This can give insight into extreme values affecting the parking duration.
Assuming you see that the median for Saturday is higher than that for Sunday, you would complete the sentence as follows:
"The number of hours cars typically park on Saturday is **greater than** the number of hours cars typically park on Sunday."
If the median for Saturday is lower, you would use "less than," and if they are equal, you would say "equal to." Please check the box plots to make the best choice.
