1. **State the problem:** We have data set A with values 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 (15 values total). Data set B is created by adding 56 to each value in data set A. We need to compare the medians and ranges of data sets A and B.
2. **Recall definitions:**
- Median is the middle value when data is ordered.
- Range is the difference between the maximum and minimum values.
3. **Find median of data set A:** Since there are 15 values, the median is the 8th value when ordered.
4. **Since data set A values are between 22 and 26, and the dot plot shows frequencies, the median is 24 (middle value).**
5. **Create data set B by adding 56 to each value:** Each value in B is $x + 56$ where $x$ is from A.
6. **Median of data set B:** Adding a constant shifts all values by that constant, so median of B is median of A plus 56:
$$\text{median}_B = 24 + 56 = 80$$
7. **Range of data set A:**
$$\text{range}_A = 26 - 22 = 4$$
8. **Range of data set B:**
$$\text{range}_B = (26 + 56) - (22 + 56) = 82 - 78 = 4$$
9. **Conclusion:** Median of B is greater than median of A, but ranges are equal.
**Answer:** Option C: The median of data set B is greater than the median of data set A, and the range of data set B is equal to the range of data set A.
