The box plots below show the ages of college students in different math courses.

A box-and-whisker plot labeled Math 1 is shown. The number line goes from 16 to 22. The whiskers range from 17 to 21, and the box ranges from 18-20. A line divides the box at 19. A box-and-whisker plot labeled Math 2 is shown. The number line goes from 16 to 24. The whiskers range from 17 to 23, and the box ranges from 18-20. A line divides the box at 19.

Which statement is true?
The median age of the students in Math 1 is greater than the median age of the students in Math 2.
The median age of the students is Math 1 is less than the median age of the students in Math 2.
The mean and median age are most likely the same for both sets of data.
The mean and median age are more likely to be the same for the students in Math 1.

Answer:

The correct option for this is C.) The mean and median age are more likely to be the same for the students in Math 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

i) The median age of the students is Math 1 is less than the median age of the students in Math 2.

This statement is NOT TRUE as the median age of students in Math 1 = median age of students in Math 2 = 19

ii) The mean and median age are most likely the same for both sets of data.

   This statement is NOT TRUE. The mean age of students in Math 2 should be greater than mean age of students in Math 1.

iii) The mean and median age are more likely to be the same for the students in Math 1.

  This statement is TRUE.

Answer:

The mean and median age are more likely to be the same for the students in Math 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The median age of the students for the student is Math 1 is less than the median age of the students in Math 2.

The statement is not true as the median age of students in Math 1 is equal to the median age of the students in Math 2 = 19.

Also, the mean and median age are the most likely to be the same for both sets of data.

The above statement is also not true as the mean age of students in Math 2 should be greater than the mean age of students in Math 1.
