Expert Solution
Step 1

a)

From the box plot, the range for Greenhouse A is between 12.2 and 17.8.

Range for Greenhouse A is 17.8-12.2=5.6

From the box plot, the range for Greenhouse B is between 12.4 and 17.6.

Range for Greenhouse A is 17.6-12.4=5.2

Hence, the range of weights in Green house A is large compared with the range of Greenhouse B.
