Letecia wants to predict the speeds
of one additional fish and one
additional mammal. She notices that
the box-and-whisker plots show that
about 75% of the fish were slower
than 46 mph and that about 75% of
the mammals were faster than 44
mph.
Based upon this information, which
prediction about the speeds of the
additional fish and the additional
mammal is justified?
A. The speed of the fish will be less than
46 mph, and the speed of the
mammal will be greater than 44 mph.
B. The speed of the fish will be less than
46 mph, and the speed of the
mammal will be less than 44 mph.
C. The speed of the fish will be greater
than 46 mph, and the speed of the
mammal will be greater than 44 mph.
D. The speed of the fish will be greater
than 46 mph, and the speed of the
mammal will be less than 44 mph.
