We are given with the data
6, 14, 6, 18, 9, 9, 12, 10, 11, 15

The mean is
(6 + 14 + 6 + 18 + 9 + 9 + 12 + 10 + 11 + 15)/10 = 11

The statement that is true is
C) The mean # of books to a box is 11

To solve this problem, we have to know the difference between the median and mean of a data set. The mean of this data is 11 and the median is 9 and this makes option B and C correct.
