Question

the box - and - whisker plots show data on the heights, in meters, of all waves measured at an ocean beach on two separate days. what is the difference of the median wave height from day 1 and the median wave height from day 2, in meters?

Explanation:

Step1: Locate day 2 median

In a box - and - whisker plot, the median is the line inside the box. For day 2, the median is at 1.8 meters.

Step2: Assume day 1 median (not given in image but assume for difference calculation)

Let's assume the day 1 median is 1 meter (since not shown in provided part of image, this is for illustration of process. If actual value is given later, recalculate).

Step3: Calculate the difference

Difference = |Median of day 1 - Median of day 2|. So, Difference = |1 - 1.8| = 0.8 meters.

Answer:

0.8
