Here's your shmoop du jour, brought to you by player salary.

00:07

Sadly, they don't get paid overtime.

00:10

What can be concluded from Figure 2?

00:17

And here are the potential answers...

00:20

This question is asking us what we can conclude

00:22

from figure 2...so let's... look at figure 2.

00:25

Yeah, just pass on by figure 1. We couldn't care less about it right now.

00:29

All our answer choices are dealing with salary,

00:31

so we want to look at those numbers along the bottom...

00:34

Ok... our first answer choice states that the majority of players make

00:37

less than $5 million bucks.

00:39

What? You mean they're not all making A-Rod money? Shocking...

00:43

We can check this $5 million figure by looking to see if a majority of the red circles, which

00:47

represent each player...

00:49

...is between $0 and $5 million in salary, as represented by the x axis of the graph.

00:56

Yup. Definitely true. In fact, only 6 players make more than $5 million.

01:01

Guess we know who gets stuck with the check when they hit up Applebee's over the weekend.

01:05

So yeah...our answer is A. As in "A-Rod paying for Appetizers at Applebees."
