Question

A survey found that the median number of calories consumed per day in a certain country was 3,304 and the mean was 3,204.9 calories. If a histogram were constructed for the data, would you expect it to be skewed to the right, to the left, or approximately symmetric

Answer 1

Skewed to the left

Explanation:

Given

`Median = 3304`

`Mean = 3204.9`

Required

The type of distribution

From the given data, we have:

`Median \\e Mean` --- Mean and Median are not equal

and

`Median > Mean` --- Median is greater than mean

When the median is greater than the mean; the histogram is expected to be left skewed
