1. The problem asks to predict the relationship between the mean and median beverage prices based on the shape of the graph. 2. The graph is a dot plot showing beverage prices mostly centered around 3 to 5, peaking at 4 and 5, and tapering off symmetrically toward both lower and higher prices. 3. When a distribution is roughly symmetric, the mean and median tend to be close together because the data is balanced on both sides. 4. Since the dot plot is centered and symmetric around the middle values, we expect the mean price and the median price to be close together. 5. Therefore, the correct prediction is: **The mean price and the median price are close together.**
