Evelyn is comparing the number of customers in the hardware store and the number of customers in the hobby store. She counts the number of customers in each store at 6 randomly selected times. The results are shown. What can Evelyn say about the numbers of customers in each store? Use stacked box plots to compare the samples. Hardware store: 5, 11, 9, 13, 11, 12

Hobby store: 7, 12, 6, 4, 8, 7

A. Because the median number of customers in the sample for the hardware store is greater than the median of the sample for the hobby store and the sample distributions have little overlap, it is unlikely that the median numbers of customers in the stores are the same.

B. The median number of customers in the sample for the hardware store is greater than the median of the sample for the hobby store, but the sample distributions have considerable overlap. So, it is not unlikely that the median numbers of customers in the stores are the same.

C. The median number of customers in the sample for the hardware store is less than the median of the sample for the hobby store, but the sample distributions have considerable overlap. So, it is not unlikely that the median numbers of customers in the stores are the same.

D. Because the median number of customers in the sample for the hardware store is less than the median of the sample for the hobby store and the sample distributions have little overlap, it is unlikely that the median numbers of customers in the stores are the same.
