A biologist recorded the weights of male and female tigers living on a nature preserve. His data is shown in the box-and-whisker plots.
Based on the data displays, which statement about the weights of male and female tigers is true?
1 answer
Based on the box-and-whisker plots, it appears that the weights of male tigers are generally higher than the weights of female tigers. This can be inferred from the fact that the median weight of male tigers is higher than the median weight of female tigers, as well as the fact that the upper quartile of male tigers extends further than the upper quartile of female tigers. Therefore, it can be concluded that male tigers living on the nature preserve tend to weigh more than female tigers.
