Answer 1

Answer:

B.The mean weight of dogs at Lawrenceville’s Veterinarian Office is about 72 pounds and the mean weight of dogs at Snellville’s Veterinarian Office is about 73 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lawrenceville’s Veterinarian Office distribution is almost symmetrical so the mean is almost the same as the median

Snellville’s Veterinarian Office distribution is left skewed so mean is less than the median, mean is less than 76
