6. Often, judging the symmetry and skewness of such distributions is not easy to do by eye, especially when they are asymmetrical or skewed in different ways. Here, the mean of set A is about 7, so the data is skewed to the left more than for set B, which has a mean of about 5.4--closer to the middle of the range.
Both data sets have the same range: 2–10. Set A's mode of 8 is higher than set B's mode of 6.
Hence, the only true statement appears to be
... B. Set B has the lesser mean.
