Leland Fowler · Answer 1

Shown in the 19 seasons of data recorded in the scatter plot, for seven of the seasons, Jeter hit less than 11 homeruns per season.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because in the graph, none of the other answers are correct besides this one. For seasons 1, 2, 8, 15, 16, 18, and 19, he hit less than 11.

The mean is not 14.5, it is 15.5.

During his 13th season, he didn't hit 12 homeruns, he hit only 11.

The number of homeruns per season has a range of 23, not 26.
