The box plots in the image compare the prices of cars from two dealerships: "Carl's Capable Cars" and "Ava's Average Autos."

The question asks which dealership has the greater range of prices. In a box plot, the range is represented by the length of the "whiskers" and the box itself, which shows the minimum, maximum, and the spread of data between the first and third quartiles.

- **Carl's Capable Cars** has a range from about 10 thousand dollars to 70 thousand dollars (i.e., the difference between the minimum and maximum is 60).
- **Ava's Average Autos** has a range from about 15 thousand dollars to 55 thousand dollars (i.e., the difference is 40).

Therefore, **Carl's Capable Cars** has the greater range of prices.

The correct answer is:
- **C. Carl's Capable Cars**

Would you like a more detailed breakdown of how to interpret box plots, or do you have any other questions?

Here are 5 related questions to consider:
1. How is the interquartile range (IQR) calculated from a box plot?
2. How does the median relate to the box plot, and where is it shown?
3. What does it mean if a box plot is skewed in one direction?
4. How would you compare the variability in prices between the two dealerships using the box plot?
5. How can outliers be identified in a box plot?

**Tip**: The whiskers of a box plot show the minimum and maximum values, while the box itself represents the spread of the middle 50% of data (the interquartile range).

The box plots compare the prices of cars at two used-car dealerships. Which dealership has the greater range of prices?

Analyze and compare price ranges using box plots for Carl's Capable Cars and Ava's Average Autos. Learn how to interpret data, calculate the range, and understand how box plots visually represent statistical data. Suitable for students in Grades 7-10.
