Question

the box plots show a random sample of wait times for two more rides at the theme park. compare the wait times in the box plots. the median wait time for storm tower is 6 minutes shorter than the median wait time for lost voyage. the iqr for both rides is 2 minutes. express the difference in the medians as a multiple of the iqrs. the difference in the medians is times the iqr.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the difference in medians

The difference in medians is given as \(6\) minutes.

Step2: Identify the IQR

The IQR for both rides is \(2\) minutes.

Step3: Calculate the multiple

To find how many times the IQR the difference in medians is, we use the formula \(\frac{\text{Difference in medians}}{\text{IQR}}\). Substituting the values, we get \(\frac{6}{2}\).

Answer:

\(3\)
