Answer:

The answer to the question: The distribution is BEST described as:____, regarding a study in which a researcher wishes to assess the frequency distribution of the intelligence test scores for a group of participants in his study, would be: a right-skewed distribution.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason comes from the results that the researcher got when he plotted the results into a graph and the mean, median and mode were established. Given that the mode is the highest possible outcome expected, the mean is the average outcome expected, and the median is the measuring line between the two, in this case, given that the mean resulted above both the median and also the mode, and the mode resulted underneath the median itself, this is what is called a right-skewed distribution.
