Question

a the average game score of club 1 is exactly equal to the average game score of club 2
b the third quartile game score of club 1 is worse than the third quartile game score of club 2
c the worst game played by both club 1 and club 2 during the tennis season had the same score
d the median game score of club 1 is exactly equal to the median game score of club 2
e the first quartile game score of club 1 is better than the first quartile game score of club 2

Explanation:

Step1: Recall box - plot properties

In a box - plot, the line inside the box represents the median.

Step2: Compare medians

For Club 1, the median (the line inside the box) is at \(40\). For Club 2, the median (the line inside the box) is also at \(40\).

Answer:

D. The median game score of Club 1 is exactly equal to the median game score of Club 2
