The box plots shown represent the average home price in two different neighborhoods. Use the box plots to compare the data sets. Drag each value to show if it is greater in Neighborhood A, greater in Neighborhood B, or if there is not enough information to tell.

To compare the average home prices in the two neighborhoods using the box plots, we need to examine the key elements indicated:
1. Range: This is the difference between the highest and lowest values. Check the ends of the box plots for this information.
2. 1st Quartile: This represents the value below which 25% of the data falls. The lower edge of the box in each plot shows this value.
3. Mean: This is the average value of the dataset. If it is not directly shown in the box plots, we may not have enough information to compare.
4. Number of Data Points: This typically isn’t represented in box plots unless specified in accompanying notes. We may not be able to determine a comparison here.
5. IQR (Interquartile Range): This is the distance between the 1st and 3rd quartile (the middle 50% of the data). The IQR can be found by looking at the width of the box in the plots.
6. Median: The line inside the box represents the median value of the dataset.
Using these definitions, you should drag the values based on observations from the box plots. If you find specific values for Neighborhood A and B from the plots, you would compare them accordingly.
If you’re uncertain about any comparison, it’s okay to write “Cannot Tell Which Is Greater” for that specific value.
