Which of the following best explains why one graph appears skewed and one graph appears symmetrical? The scale of the box-and-whisker plot does not start at zero. The interval of the box-and-whisker plot is too large. The interval of the stem-and-leaf plot is not consistent. The scale of the stem-and-leaf plot is too small for the set of data.

@jenniferjuice The median is 38, and is more or less centred in the range of the data set. The second quarter is spread over 38-23=15 units, while the third quarter of the data set is spread over (45-38)=7 units. That creates the appearance of skewness. So the answer, in my opinion, is "none of the above" given reasons. @kg1975 Please do not piggy-back on someone else's post.
