Question

the box plots compare the number of students in mr. ishimotos classes and in ms. castillos classes over the last two semesters.

number of students in classes

mr. ishimotos class
ms. castillos class
22 24 26 28 30 32 34 36 38 40 42
which statement is true about the box plots? select three options.

both box plots show the same range.

both box plots show the same interquartile range.

the data for mr. ishimoto has an outlier.

mr. ishimoto had the class with the greatest number of students.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  1. Range: Range is maximum - minimum. For Mr. Ishimoto: Max = 40, Min = 28, Range = \( 40 - 28 = 12 \). For Ms. Castillo: Max = 38, Min = 24, Range = \( 38 - 24 = 14 \). So "Both box plots show the same range" is false.
  2. Interquartile Range (IQR): IQR is \( Q_3 - Q_1 \). From the box plots, the length of the boxes (representing IQR) looks the same. So "Both box plots show the same interquartile range" is true.
  3. Outlier for Mr. Ishimoto: The whiskers and box don't show any point outside the whiskers, so no outlier. So "The data for Mr. Ishimoto has an outlier" is false.
  4. Greatest number of students: Mr. Ishimoto's max is 40, Ms. Castillo's max is 38. So "Mr. Ishimoto had the class with the greatest number of students" is true. Wait, maybe I missed another. Wait, maybe the third true is about IQR, and maybe another. Wait, maybe the options: Wait, maybe the correct three are (assuming the box plots' IQR is same, Mr. Ishimoto has max 40, and maybe another. Wait, maybe the original problem's options: Let's re - evaluate.

Wait, maybe the correct options are:

  • "Both box plots show the same interquartile range" (since the boxes' length is same, IQR = \( Q_3 - Q_1 \) is same).
  • "Mr. Ishimoto had the class with the greatest number of students" (his max is 40, hers is 38).
  • And maybe another, like if the median or something, but from the given options, let's check again. Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Let's re - check:

Wait, the options are:

  1. Both box plots show the same range. (False)
  2. Both box plots show the same interquartile range. (True, as the box lengths are equal)
  3. The data for Mr. Ishimoto has an outlier. (False, no points outside whiskers)
  4. Mr. Ishimoto had the class with the greatest number of students. (True, his max is 40, hers is 38)

Wait, but we need three options. Maybe there's a third. Wait, maybe the third is that the median? No, the options given. Wait, maybe the original problem has a typo or I misread. Wait, maybe the correct three are:

  • Both box plots show the same interquartile range.
  • Mr. Ishimoto had the class with the greatest number of students.
  • And maybe "The data for Mr. Ishimoto has no outlier" is not an option. Wait, the given options are the four. Wait, maybe I made a mistake in range. Wait, Mr. Ishimoto's min: the left whisker starts at 28, max at 40. Ms. Castillo's min at 24, max at 38. So range for Mr. I: 40 - 28 = 12, Ms. C: 38 - 24 = 14. So range is different.

Wait, maybe the correct three are:

  • Both box plots show the same interquartile range.
  • Mr. Ishimoto had the class with the greatest number of students.
  • And maybe another, like if the median? No, the options. Wait, maybe the problem has a different set. Wait, maybe the correct options are:
  • Both box plots show the same interquartile range.
  • Mr. Ishimoto had the class with the greatest number of students.
  • And (assuming another true statement, maybe the third is that the IQR is same, and two others). Wait, maybe the original problem's correct options are:
  • Both box plots show the same interquartile range.
  • Mr. Ishimoto had the class with the greatest number of students.
  • And (maybe the third is that the data for Ms. Castillo has no outlier, but that's not an option). Wait, maybe I messed up. Let's look at the box plots again.

Mr. Ishimoto's class: min = 28, Q1, median, Q3, max = 40.

Ms. Castillo's class: min = 24, Q1, median, Q3, max = 38.

IQR (Q3 - Q1) for both boxes: the box length is same (from 30 - 34? Wait, no, the box for Mr. I: maybe Q1 = 30, Q3 = 34? For Ms. C: Q1 = 30, Q3 = 34? So IQR = 4…

Answer:

  • Both box plots show the same interquartile range.
  • Mr. Ishimoto had the class with the greatest number of students.

(Note: There seems to be a discrepancy as we need three options, but with the given four options, only two are clearly true. Maybe a typo in the problem or options.)
