Question

Are the data shown in this line plot skewed left, skewed right, or not skewed?

not skewed



skewed left

skewed right

Answer 1

The data is Skewed right since most of the data is on the left side, the right side points are screwing up the mean and median.

Answer 2

Answer with explanation:

Writing the data values which is represented on the line plot

0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,3,3,3,3,4,4,5,8,10

There are 26 variate in the data set.

Mean of the data set is

`M=(0* 4 +1* 5 +2* 8+3* 4+4* 2+5* 1+8* 1+10* 1)/(26)\\\\=(0+5+16+12+8+5+8+10)/(26)\\\\=(64)/(26)\\\\=2.47`

Median ,as there are even number of variate in the data set

`=(2+2)/(2)\\\\=2`

Mode , which is maximum number of times occurring variate in the data set

=2

→Mean > Median and Mode

So, Data is Skewed Right.
