To determine which statement is best supported by the information presented in the box plots for Mrs. Casillas's two math classes, we would normally need to visually assess the box plots to compare the minimum scores, medians, ranges, and interquartile ranges for both classes.
However, since I do not have access to the actual box plots, I will explain how to evaluate each statement based on typical characteristics of box plots:
A. The minimum test score for class 1 is less than the minimum test score for class 2.
- To verify this, compare the leftmost line (minimum) of each box plot. If the line for Class 1 is indeed to the left of Class 2, this statement is true.
B. The median of the data for class 1 is greater than the median of the data for class 2.
- The median is represented by the line inside the box for each class. If the line for Class 1 is higher than for Class 2, this statement is true.
C. The range of the data for class 1 is less than the range of the data for class 2.
- The range is determined by subtracting the minimum from the maximum (rightmost line) of each box plot. If Class 1 has a smaller overall spread than Class 2, this statement is true.
D. The interquartile range of the data for class 2 is greater than the interquartile range of the data for class 1.
- The interquartile range (IQR) is represented by the width of the boxes in the box plots. If the box for Class 2 is wider than for Class 1, this statement is true.
To conclude, choose the statement that can be confirmed by comparing the specific features of the box plots (minimums, medians, ranges, and IQR). If you have the box plots available, simply look for the relevant information to select the correct answer.
