O The data appears to be right-skewed with large variability. O The data appears to be roughly symmetrical with a possible outlier Question2

Explanation / Answer

The data is right-skewed as more numbers are at the right hand side of mean and are increasing numbers. There is no possible outlier as it is not shown in the boxplot above. So, the first option is wrong. Option second and fourth are also wrong as it is positively skewed(right skewed). There will be large variability because the final number 50,468 is much higher than the mean. So, the best fit answer for this question is part 3
