which of the following best explains why one graph appears skewed and one graph appears symmetrical?
the scale of the box - and - whisker plot does not start at zero.
the interval of the box - and - whisker plot is too large.
the interval of the stem - and - leaf plot is not consistent.
the scale of the stem - and - leaf plot is too small for the set of data.

Explanation:

A stem - and - leaf plot's interval consistency affects its shape perception. If intervals are inconsistent, it can create an illusion of skewness or symmetry. A box - and - whisker plot's scale starting at zero or interval size doesn't directly cause one to look skewed and the other symmetric in this context. A scale being too small for data in a stem - and - leaf plot is not the main reason for the shape difference.

Answer:

The interval of the stem - and - leaf plot is not consistent.
