How long do customers typically wait for their food at two popular fast food restaurants? In 2018, a researcher looked at the amount of time (in minutes) customers at Wendy's and McDonald's had to wait for their orders. To compare the wait times at these two locations, five-number summaries were computed for each location, as shown in the table below. What can we conclude based on these summaries? McDonald's Wendy's Minimum 0 0.35 Q 0.36 0.92 Median 0.86 1.20 Q3 2.33 1.66 Maximum 4.54 3.90 A. More customers dine at McDonald's than at Wendy's. B.
