Question

The amount of water that the girls on the basketball and soccer teams drink during one practice session is recorded in the dot plots. Select from the drop-down menu to correctly complete the statement. The median ounces of water drank on the basketball team was about the median ounces of water drank on the soccer team.

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 30 oz less than.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two dot plots, one for the Basketball Team and one for the Soccer Team.

Notice that there are 16 girls in the Basketball Team and 16 girls in the Soccer Team.

Basically, the median is between the 8th and 9th term in each data set. Specifically, is the mean between them.

For Basketball Team

$m_{basketball} =\frac{32+32}{2}=32$

Because the 8th and 9th term are both equal to 32.

For Soccer Team

$m_{soccer}=\frac{64+64}{2}=64$

Because the 8th and 9th term are both equal to 64.

If we subtract them to find the difference, it would be

$\Delta m=64-32=32$

Basically, the Soccer Team drank 32 more ounces of water than the Basketball Team.

Therefore, the right answer is B, that's the closest one.
