Yes, because there is a lot of variability in the English book data

Yes, because the mean is larger in the English book

No, because the mean is larger in the English book

No, because there is a lot of variability in the English book data

Well, based on the context, and the definition of the mean (the overall average for a set of numbers), the answer would be B, because it is definitely yes. But I think it is B, it could be B.
