Evidence boundary

The nine values and the classification task come from OpenStax Introductory Statistics, chapter 2 Practice exercise 50. No observations have been added or removed. The frequency table and center calculations explain the classification; the exercise does not require collecting data or drawing a new graph. The conclusion uses the full supplied shape rather than treating mean below median as a universal rule.
