Answer 1

I can’t see the box plots you mention. Could you either upload the image or type the five-number summaries (min, Q1, median, Q3, max) for the fall and spring plots?

How to check each choice once I have the plot or numbers:
- Range (choice 1) = max − min for the fall.
- Interquartile range (choice 2) = Q3 − Q1 for the spring.
- “Half of the fall donations were greater than $40” (choice 3) is true only if the fall median is 40 (then half are ≥40; strictly “>40” is slightly different but typically they mean median = 40).
- “Half of the spring donations were between $35 and $50” (choice 4) is true only if Q1 = 35 and Q3 = 50 (then the middle 50% lie between those values).

Send the plot or the five-number summaries and I’ll pick the correct statement.
