Review: Monthly Customer Acquisition


Explanation

We must answer this question by eyeball, counting the number of vertical bars, determining the bar of middle height in this set, and estimating its height. There are 13 bars. To find the middle, we can count from the smallest or the tallest. Let's do smallest. The right bar is shortest; that's 1. The three leftmost bars are next shortest; those are 2, 3 and 4. Next to them and third from right are two bars of similar height; those are 5 and 6. So number 7 is the fifth bar in from the left. It is under 80,000, but easily more than half the distance from 60,000 to 80,000.

The correct answer is (C).
