D. The box plot will have its left tail longer than the right tail because the distribution is skewed to the right.

Answer 1

The correct answer is actually A. The box plot will be symmetrical because there are no exceptionally high or low prices.

Explanation:

The first time took the test I chose B and it was wrong then I chose A and it was correct. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

I am pretty sure that the right answer on the question represented above is the second option from the scale B. The box plot will be skewed because there are no exceptionally high or low prices. And that's why :
at first you need to arrange the prizes in order 25 , 25 , 25 , 26 , 26 , 27 , 27 , 27 , 28 , 28 , 29
Then find median Q2 = 27
Then you need to get Q1 and Q3, which coincideas with 25, 28
now you have boundaries 25 and 29 and I think its clear now
