Indira makes a box-and-whisker plot of her data. She finds that the distance from the minimum value to the first quartile is greater than the distance between the third quartile and the maximum value. Which is most likely true?

The distance from the minimum to the first quartile is the left whisker, and it is longer than the right whisker from the third quartile to the maximum. This suggests the data has a longer tail on the left, so it is skewed to the left. The mean is pulled toward that low-value tail, making it less than the median; therefore, choice C is correct.
