Here's your shmoop du jour: brought to you by crying.... there's none of that in baseball.

00:09

Which of the following ideas can be supported by Figure 2?

00:12

And here are the potential answers...

00:20

This question is asking us about Figure 2 again. And just Figure 2, so we can ignore Figure 1.

00:26

Choice A. More than half make less than 1 million.

00:30

Well..it looks like a pretty big majority of the red circles are pretty close

00:33

to the $0 mark on the x-axis. So we can conclude that this statement is true.

00:38

Just to check the other answers to be extra sure.

00:42

Weight is an important indicator of how much a player will make. Well, looking at the wide

00:46

range of weights that make less than $1 million-this statement probably isn't true.

00:53

Statement C. Heavier players receive more salary. Again, like statement b, not true.

00:59

Finally, statement D, most players weight over 300 pounds. Well given that our graph's

01:04

y-axis doesn't even go above 250 pounds, this statement is definitely false too.

01:09

Our answer's A!
