Explanation / Answer

Here are the right answer, with proper reasoning behind them. Please don't hesitate to give a "thumbs up" in case you're satisfied with the answer. Have a good day!

a. Median for college A is at 7

Median for college B is at 6.5

There is just a .5 hour differnce between median , hence A is a right conclusion

b. Lets check the boxplot for B. Q1 and Q3 are end and begin of boxes. They are at

3 and 9 respectively. So, Q1 is not rightl given in the question, hence B is wrong

c. Yes, since range of A is larger. So, C is correct option

d. Correct. A has lesser interquartile range, which essentially difference between Q3 and Q1.

So, A, C and D are correct.
