Shown below is a randomization dotplot for sample differences in student pulse rates during a quiz versus listening to a lecture. Use the randomization dotplot to answer the questions that follow: The randomization dotplot is based on 5000 simulated samples under the null hypothesis assumption that there is no difference in mean pulse rates during a quiz versus during a lecture. The alternative hypothesis is that the difference is greater than zero (or that the mean pulse rate is higher during a quiz).

If we assume the null hypothesis is true, of the choices below, which of these sample differences would be the least likely to occur (or, to say it another way, which would give the strongest evidence in favor of the alternative hypothesis? [2]
