• The distribution of the data is skewed right.

• The distribution of the data is skewed left.

• The distribution of the data has a gap between 1 and 3.

A coach compared the heights of the players on two different teams. The data set is shown in the table below. Based on these data, which statement is true?

• The mean height of the players on Team B is greater than the mean height of the players on Team A.

• The mean height of the players on Team A is greater than the height of the players on Team B.

• The median height of the players on Team A is greater than the median height of the players on Team B.

Which statement is true?

• The freshman class has LESSER MEAN number of cans donated than the sophomore class.

• The freshman class has THE SAME MEDIAN number of cans donated than the sophomore class.
