the range of the morning box plot is 1 more than the range of the afternoon box plot.
the range of the morning box plot is 2 less than the range of the afternoon box plot.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall range formula

Range = Maximum - Minimum

Step2: Find morning range

From the box - plot, for morning, maximum = 16, minimum = 2. Range of morning = 16 - 2 = 14.

Step3: Find afternoon range

For afternoon, maximum = 16, minimum = 2. Range of afternoon = 16 - 2 = 14.

Answer:

The range of the Morning box plot is the same as the range of the Afternoon box plot.
