To determine the range of the amount Winston spent each week based on a box plot, you need to find the minimum and maximum values represented in the plot.

  1. Minimum value: This is the leftmost point of the box plot, which represents the lowest weekly spending.
  2. Maximum value: This is the rightmost point of the box plot, which represents the highest weekly spending.

The range is calculated using the formula:

\[ \text{Range} = \text{Maximum value} - \text{Minimum value} \]

Since the actual values are not provided in your question, you'll need to refer to the box plot to identify these values. Once you find the minimum and maximum values, you can substitute them into the formula above to find the range.

If you can provide the specific minimum and maximum values from the box plot, I would be happy to help you calculate the range.
