Question

Which statement is most likely to be true for this distribution?

A. The mean is the same as the median.

B. The mean is less than the median.

C. The mean is greater than the median.

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

The distribution is skewed to the left (the lower end is pulled out to the left). The mean is less than the median. If the distribution were even more skewed to the left the mean would decrease, but the median (middle number in the data) would stay the same.
