To find the difference between the medians of the two periods, we need to read the values from the box plots.
Step 1: Identify the median for the 1st Period.
In a box plot, the median is represented by the vertical line inside the rectangular box.
* Looking at the "1st Period" plot, the vertical line inside the box aligns with the number
80 on the number line.
* So, the Median for 1st Period = 80.
Step 2: Identify the median for the 2nd Period.
* Looking at the "2nd Period" plot, the vertical line inside the box aligns with the number
85 on the number line.
* So, the Median for 2nd Period = 85.
Step 3: Calculate the difference.
* Difference = |Median of 2nd Period - Median of 1st Period|
* Difference = 85 - 80
* Difference = 5
Final Answer:
5
