To determine which of the statements is true based on the box plots for ice cream sales on Monday and Tuesday, we need to analyze the following aspects typically represented in box plots:
- Median: The line inside the box shows the median value of the data for each day.
- Maximum: The rightmost line (whisker tip) represents the maximum value.
- Interquartile Range (IQR): The length of the box indicates the IQR, which is the difference between the first (Q1) and third (Q3) quartiles.
- Outliers: Any individual points that lie outside the whiskers.
Without the actual box plots to visualize, here is how to assess the statements:
-
Median Comparison: If the median line for Monday is lower than that for Tuesday, then this statement is true. You will need to check the position of the median lines.
-
Maximum Comparison: If the maximum line for Monday is lower than that for Tuesday, then this statement is true. Again, you will need to check the end points of the whiskers.
-
Interquartile Range (IQR) Comparison: For this statement to be true, the length of the box (IQR) for Monday must be greater than that for Tuesday. You can measure the box heights directly from the plots.
-
Maximum Stores Comparison: This statement would require knowing if the maximum values correspond to the same stores on both days. This cannot be established just from the box plots.
To find the true statement, refer to the actual box plots and compare the metrics listed above. If you do not have access to the box plots, you won't be able to determine which statement is true. Based on the provided descriptions of the statements, you can analyze and conclude once you have access to the visual data.
