PLEASE PLEASE HELP I WILL MARK THE BRAINLIEST!!!!!

The box plots below show the average daily temperatures in July and August for a U.S. city:

two box plots shown. The top one is labeled July. Minimum at 80, Q1 at 88, median at 96, Q3 at 103, maximum at 105. The bottom box plot is labeled August. Minimum at 80, Q1 at 82, median at 84, Q3 at 90, maximum at 100


What can you tell about the means for these two months?
A - The August high is above the July median. This makes it hard to know about the means.
B - Both months have the same low temperature. This makes it hard to know about the means.
C - It is unlikely, but possible that the July mean could be higher.
D - There is no way to tell what the means are.

Hi!

There is no way to tell what the means are.

To find the mean of a data set, you need to know how many numbers are in it, and what they all are. We don't know either of these. Therefore, D is your answer. 

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

The answer to this question is option: D

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean of two numbers could not be calculated with the help of the information and data provided in the question because:

For the calculation of means we must know that how many entries are there in the given data. since the mean of a data is defined as the average of all the entries.

i.e.

Mean= (sum of all the entries)/(total number of entries)

Hence, Option D is correct i.e. " There is no way to tell what the means are" .
