D) 7, 7, 3, 8, 8, 6, 7, 5

Answer 1

Answer:

  B) 1.3, 1.7, 1.7, 2.6, 2.8, 2.8, 3.5, 3.7

Step-by-step explanation:

The note at the bottom of the plot tells you to expect numbers with one decimal place. This eliminates choices A and D.

The number of "leaves" is 8, so there will be 8 numbers in the list. This eliminates choice C, which lists 9 numbers.

The only remaining choice is B, which is also correct.
