Question

This box plot shows the heights ( in feet) of a sample of pine trees

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

The new one would have a long gap between the Q3 and the maximum of the box and whisker plot, therefore it should create a positive skew.

Answer 2

D

Explanation:

It will be positively skewed (skewed right), because that means that the longer segment would be on the right side of the median.

140 is a major outlier and a lot larger than the more central numbers. However, it's only 1 number, so the median (location of the "box") would remain similar or the same. The end on the right, however, would move far to the right, extending the "line" on that side.
