Question
The box plots given summarize the distribution of the number of fish caught each day on two commercial fishing boats for a season. By how many fish does the median number of fish caught each day on Boat B exceed the median number on Boat A?
The correct answer is: 5
Hint:-
Verticle bar inside the box in a box plot represents the value of the median.
Step-by-step solution:-
In the given diagram,
Median of Boat A = 35
Median of Boat B = 40
Median of Boat B is greater than Boat A
Difference between the Median no. of fishes caught by both the Boats = 40 - 35 = 5
Final Answer:-
∴ The Median Number of fishes caught each day on Boat B exceeds the Median number of Boat A by 5.
