Water boils at different temperatures based on its elevation above sea level. Ann and Rob are in
different cities. They both boil water in a number of pots. Each person records the water
temperature just as the water starts to boil. The higher the elevation is the lower the boiling point is
and the lower the elevation is the higher the boiling point is. They use box plots to display their data.
Compare the medians of the box plots. What inference can you make based on the median values?
