Question options:

A)

Data appears to be distributed normally (unimodal with mean and median roughly equivalent); one outlier exists (383); no discernable skew

B)

Data appears NOT to be distributed normally (unimodal but mean appears to be less than median); one outlier exists (383); skew to left is discernable and supports relationship of mean to median

C)

Data appears to be distributed normally (unimodal with mean and median roughly equivalent); no outlier exists; no discernable skew

D)

Data appears NOT to be distributed normally (unimodal but mean appears to be greater than median); one outlier exists (383); skew to right is discernable and supports relationship of mean to median

I picked C but was wrong.
