Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the largest value in each data set
The box plots show the data ranges for Data Set A and Data Set B. The largest value in each data set is represented by the endpoint of the right whisker. In Data Set A, the largest value is 94. In Data Set B, the largest value is 85.
Step 2: Compare the largest values
Comparing the largest values, 94 (Data Set A) is greater than 85 (Data Set B).
