Explanation / Answer

79 to 82 = 4

83 to 85 = 3

86 to 88 = 2

89 to 91 = 0

91 to 93 = 1

so (a) the correct answer

Right skewed (Mean > Median)

note - whichever side there is a tail, the distribution is skewed in that direction. here it is right.

mean weight = sum(weights)/ 10 = 837/10 = 83.7

median weight = 83
