Question

These two box plots, show the distance of standing jump and inches for a random sample of 10-year-olds and a random sample of 15-year-olds use these box plots to answer the questions below
The difference between the two medium is
The box plot for the ——- has more spread
The box plot above, shows us how far a group of students jumped. What can you infer about the difference between the two age groups?

Answer 1

Based on the box plot, we can infer that the 15-year-olds had a higher median distance for the standing jump compared to the 10-year-olds. The box plot for the 15-year-olds also appears to have more spread, indicating that there was more variability in the distances jumped by the 15-year-olds compared to the 10-year-olds. Overall, it seems that the 15-year-olds were able to jump farther on average and had a wider range of jumping distances compared to the 10-year-olds.
