Question
### Basketball Scores Comparison

This image presents box plots comparing the basketball scores for two teams: the Bulldogs and the Wolverines.

#### Box Plot Explanation

- **Bulldogs:**
  - Minimum score: 55
  - First quartile (Q1): 70
  - Median (Q2): 80
  - Third quartile (Q3): 90
  - Maximum score: 105

- **Wolverines:**
  - Minimum score: 35
  - First quartile (Q1): 55
  - Median (Q2): 80
  - Third quartile (Q3): 85
  - Maximum score: 95

The box plots have a horizontal axis labeled "Basketball scores," ranging from 30 to 110. Each plot shows:
- A line extending from the minimum to the maximum values
- A box spanning from the first quartile to the third quartile
- A line within the box representing the median.

#### Analysis Question

Below the box plots is a question: 

**"Which statement is the most appropriate comparison of the spreads?"**

This invites analysis of the variability and distribution range between the two teams' scores. The Bulldogs have a wider spread of scores, while the Wolverines' scores are more concentrated.

**Transcription for Educational Website: Data Analysis Practice**

This section presents a multiple-choice question designed to test your understanding of statistical concepts like median, interquartile range, and range.

---

**Options:**

- **A.** The median for the Bulldogs, 80, is the same as the median for the Wolverines, 80.

- **B.** The interquartile ranges (IQRs) for the Bulldogs and Wolverines are both 80.

- **C.** The interquartile range (IQR) for the Bulldogs, 20, is less than the IQR for the Wolverines, 30.

- **D.** The range for the Bulldogs, 20, is less than the range for the Wolverines, 30. 

---

**Instructions:** Analyze each statement carefully, using your knowledge of the measures of central tendency and spread, to determine which statement accurately represents the data between the Bulldogs and Wolverines.
