The image shows a box plot comparison of two classes, Class A and Class B, regarding the number of books read over the summer. The problem asks for the positive difference between the ranges of the number of books read for these two classes.

### To solve this:

1. **Range** is defined as the difference between the maximum and minimum values in the data set.
   
   - For **Class A**, the minimum is 0 books, and the maximum is 10 books, giving a range of \( 10 - 0 = 10 \).
   - For **Class B**, the minimum is 2 books, and the maximum is 12 books, giving a range of \( 12 - 2 = 10 \).

2. **Difference in ranges**: The ranges for both classes are the same, so the positive difference between the ranges is:

\[
10 - 10 = 0
\]

### Answer: The positive difference between the ranges is \( \mathbf{0} \).

Let me know if you want more details or have any questions!

Here are five related questions you could explore:
1. What is the interquartile range (IQR) for both Class A and Class B?
2. How do outliers affect the interpretation of box plots?
3. Can the median of a box plot be outside of the interquartile range? Why or why not?
4. What is the significance of the length of the whiskers in a box plot?
5. How would the plot change if a significant number of students in Class A read more than 10 books?

**Tip**: When comparing box plots, always check the median, range, and IQR to understand the spread and center of the data.

The two box plots show the distribution of number of books read over the summer by the students in two different English classes. What is the positive difference between the ranges of number of books read over the summer for the two classes?

Explore the positive difference between the ranges of books read over the summer by two different English classes, using box plot data. Learn how to calculate range by identifying the maximum and minimum values from the box plots. Ideal for middle school students (Grades 6-8).
