Official Explanation
RO1: Recognize
In a list with an odd number of values, the middle value is the median for the list. Sorting the table on Depth, Lake Ontario’s depth (802 feet) is the middle value for the five lakes.
The correct answer is Yes.
RO2: Recognize
Sorting the table on Depth shows that Lake Superior is deepest. However, the table also shows that Lake Michigan’s shoreline (1,400 miles) is longer than that of Lake Superior (863 miles). Therefore, it is not the case that the deepest lake has the longest shoreline.
The correct answer is No.
RO3: Recognize
Sorting the table on Volume shows that Lake Superior’s volume is 2,900 cubic miles. The sum of the volumes of the other four lakes (116 + 393 + 850 + 1,180) equals 2,539 cubic miles. Therefore, Lake Superior’s volume is greater than that of the other four lakes combined.
The correct answer is Yes.

A)Yes,since if we arrange all in yerms of depth then:
210,750,802,923,1330, so here 802 is median,which is Ontario lake's depth
B)No,Since superior has greatest depth while in terms of shoreline the winner is lake Michigan
C)Yes,Volume of lake superior=2900
While sum of all others = 116+393+850+1180=2539,so statement is true
