To compare the typical number of calories between Margo's morning and afternoon snacks, we can look at the medians of the box plots.
From your description:
- The morning snack box plot ranges from 75 to 260, with the median around the middle of the box, which appears to be about 175 calories.
- The afternoon snack box plot ranges from 240 to 375, with a median of approximately around the middle of the box, which appears to be about 300 calories.
To find the difference between the typical afternoon snack and the typical morning snack:
300 (afternoon median) - 175 (morning median) = 125 calories.
Thus, Margo’s typical afternoon snack has about **125 more calories** than her typical morning snack.
The correct option is **b 125**.
