These box plots show the basketball scores for two teams Bulldogs & Wolvernies.

Here we have to compare the spread of scores by Interquartile Range.

The interquartile range defines the difference between the third and the first quartile

It express as : Upper Quartile - Lower Quartile

For the Bulldogs :

Upper Quartile is 90

Lower Quartile is 70

So, Interquartile Range = Upper Quartile - Lower Quartile

Interquartile Range = 90 - 70

Interquartile Range = 20

For the Wolveniers :

Upper Quartile is 85

Lower Quartile is 55

So, Interquartile Range = Upper Quartile - Lower Quartile

Interquartile Range = 85 - 55

Interquartile Range = 30

as : 20 < 30

So, The Interquartile Range for bulldogs, 20 is less than the IQR for the Wolveniers, 30.

Answer : B) The Interquartile Range for bulldogs, 20 is less than the IQR for the Wolveniers, 30.
