Answer 1

What do you think? Just carefully look at the choices. This one is a pretty simple one if you break it down a little bit :P

Answer 2

I'm not positive

Answer 3

A.

Mode is the number that is mostly repeated. Can you tell what that number is on the graph?

B.

You have half on the lower end, so that means you have half on the upper end too. Would that be evenly distributed?

C.

That's kinda self explanatory, hehe

D.

Median = Middle. The median is located where the line is in the box, so the median would be here http://prntscr.com/6rgw4z

Answer 4

But if the box plot is symmetrical, that means everything is pretty much even (hint)

Answer 5

So, does that mean it's C?

Answer 6

I believe so :)

Answer 7

Okie, thx for helping :)

Answer 8

No problem. I am a little suspicious on this problem though. Do you mind telling me if it was right or what? Just curious :P

Answer 9

Yea, sure
