Answer 1

Can you take a screenshots of the box plots?

Answer 2

Alright. Thanks. Time for elimination process.

Eliminate D because the box only goes until 30, not 32

Answer 3

What you need is one that the whiskers end at 11 and 32 (all but A and D). So eliminate A too.

You have B and C left now.

Answer 4

The difference between them is that B has a line at 21, while C has one at 23.

Answer 5

oh wait, im pretty sure its C

Answer 6

Is 21 or 23 closer to the middle?

11, 14, 21, 23, 30, 31, 32

The middle would be what number?

So then, which is closer, 21 or 23?

Answer 7

Yes, you are correct. It is C. (:
