Question

The dot plot shows the number of points scored by Jason and Eduardo during a middle school basketball season. Based on the dot plot, which statement about the medians and interquartile ranges of the data sets is true?

The difference of the medians is half the interquartile range of either data set.
The difference of the medians is one-fourth the interquartile range of either data set.
Their medians cannot be compared based on their interquartile ranges because the interquartile ranges are 9 points apart.
Their medians cannot be compared based on their interquartile ranges because the interquartile ranges are 6 points apart.

Answer 1

the answer is d

Explanation:

Answer 2

Jason : 8,8,11,13,14,14,15,18,21,22,22,27,27,28,30
median = 18
IQR = 27 - 13 = 14

Ed : 7,12,12,15,19,21,21,21,21,22,23,23,26,27,27
median = 21
IQR = 23 - 15 = 8

Their medians cannot be compared based on their IQR's are 6 points apart <==
