To determine the range of the apples' weights from the box plot in the image:

1. The range is the difference between the maximum and minimum values shown on the plot.
2. The whiskers (the lines extending from the box) represent the minimum and maximum weights.

In this box plot:
- The minimum weight (left whisker) appears to be at **75 grams**.
- The maximum weight (right whisker) appears to be at **115 grams**.

Thus, the range is:
\[
\text{Range} = 115 \, \text{grams} - 75 \, \text{grams} = 40 \, \text{grams}
\]

The range of the apples' weights is **40 grams**.

Would you like more details on interpreting box plots or further clarification?

### Follow-up questions:
1. How is the interquartile range (IQR) determined from this box plot?
2. What do the whiskers in a box plot represent?
3. How can you identify outliers using a box plot?
4. What is the significance of the median in a box plot?
5. How does the range differ from the interquartile range?

**Tip:** The range shows the total spread of the data, while the interquartile range focuses on the middle 50%.
