To find the difference in calories between Margo's typical afternoon snack and her typical morning snack, we can look at the medians of each box plot.
From the description:
- The morning snack box plot ranges from 75 to 260.
- The first half of the morning snack (the box) spans from 100 to 175, and the second part (whisker) extends from 250 to 260.
For the typical morning snack, we can estimate the median to be around 175 since it's the higher range of the first box.
For the afternoon snack:
- The afternoon snack box plot ranges from 240 to 375.
- The first half of the afternoon snack (the box) spans from 260 to 300, and the second part (whisker) extends from 340 to 375.
For the typical afternoon snack, we can estimate the median to be around 300, since that's an approximate average in the middle range of the box.
Now, calculating the difference between the typical afternoon snack and the typical morning snack:
- Typical afternoon snack median: approximately 300 calories
- Typical morning snack median: approximately 175 calories
Difference = 300 - 175 = 125 calories.
Thus, we can complete the statement:
Margo’s typical afternoon snack has about **125** more calories than her typical morning snack.
