Answer:

Your answer is B

Explanation:

The lowest number is 4, therefore it cannot be C.

Now you'll have to cross out numbers on both sides and your mean will be 9 because you'll have to add 8 and 10 together and 18 divided by 2 is 9.

Next, put a line between 8 and 10, now the 8 side is the lower quartile and the 10 side is the greater quartile.

For the lower quartile, add 7 and 7 together, divide 14 by 2 and the lower quartile is 7.

For the greater quartile, add 11 and 13 together, that's 24, divide 24 by 2 and that's 12.

Lowest: 4

Mean: 9

Lower quartile: 7

Greater quartile: 12

Highest: 14

Therefore your answer is B and not A or C.
