Which is an accurate statement about the Giants' players weights in 2009?

00:15

Here are the potential answers...

00:21

This question is asking us about the Giant's

00:23

players weight...information we can find in figure 2.

00:27

More specifically..on the y-axis of the graph.

00:30

Looking at the first statement, most players weighed between 150 and 175 pounds.

00:35

Well, all the red circles that represent each of the players fall between 190 and 200...

00:40

...not really between 150 and 175.

00:42

Which means we can try to find the given interval that encompasses 190 to 200.

00:47

Only option D gives us the proper interval.

00:50

175 to 225 covers 190 and 200.

00:54

Which makes sense right? It's hard to run around the bases for an athlete who's so skinny

00:57

a gust of wind can blow him over or, conversely, he's so heavy that running halfway to first

01:02

feels like running halfway to the moon...So the answer is (D).
