The box plots show the average speeds, in miles per hour, for the race cars in two different races

d) the median speed in race a is about 153 miles per hour, and the median speed in race b is about 145 miles per hour.

Explanation:

The whole question is written below:

The box plots show the average speeds, in miles per hour, for the race cars in two different races (figure attached) . Which statement compares the median speeds for the data in the two box plots?

a) the median speed in race a is about 142 miles per hour, and the median speed in race b is about 140 miles per hour.

b) the median speed in race a is about 120 miles per hour, and the median speed in race b is about 125 miles per hour.

c) the median speed in both races is about 165 miles per hour.

d) the median speed in race a is about 153 miles per hour, and the median speed in race b is about 145 miles per hour.

Firstly, let's explain how to read a box plot (as the shown in the second figure):

The outer extreme points are the minimum and maximum values, respectively.The inner extreme points are the first quartile (also called lower median) and the third quartile (also called upper median).The point in the middle is Median.

So, according to this, the median for race a (top plot) is between 150 and 155, and the median for race b (bottom plot) is 145.

Hence, among the given options the correct is:

d) the median speed in race a is about 153 miles per hour, and the median speed in race b is about 145 miles per hour.

Ibelieve the answer is going to be b

Defidently don't start answering as quick as possible some teachers do say to read the hardest first but i would think the most logical answer is c carefully read the passages and i structions
