Answer 2

A. On average, life spans were longer for the Macaws in the wild.

C. The life spans for the Macaws in the wild varied noticeably more than those in captivity.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see that the box plot for the captivity birds is more to the right it means that on average their life spans were longer. However between 60 and 80 years, there are parts of both graphs, so we can say that all of the captivity birds live longer than all of the wild birds.

Finally, we see that the box plot for the wild birds is wider, which means that there is more variability in their life spans.

Therefore, the answers are:

A. On average, life spans were longer for the Macaws in the wild.

C. The life spans for the Macaws in the wild varied noticeably more than those in captivity.
