Question

Consider a distribution of the weights of cars in the new car lot at a car dealership in which about half the inventory consists of compact cars and the other half consists of sport utility vehicles. How many modes would you expect for the​ distribution? Would you expect the distribution to be​ symmetric, left-skewed, or​ right-skewed? Choose the correct answer below.

A. One​ mode; right-skewed
B. Two​ modes; symmetric
C. Two​ modes; right-skewed
D. One​ mode; symmetric

Answer 1

B. Two​ modes; symmetric

Explanation: I expect distribution will be of two modes, both the SUV(sports utility vehicle) and the car will have equal number of occurrence.It is symmetrical because both samples occurred with a regular frequency, of which both samples are of similar frequencies,and the mode, mean and median occurred at a constant point. Attached below is a graph to show a symmetrical distribution.
