Question

In a frequency distribution of 290 scores, the mean is 99 and the median is 86. One would expect this distribution to be:

Answer 1

positively skewed to the right

Explanation:

The measure of the central tendency is a profound way to describe the mean, median and mode. The measure of central tendency indicates where the center of distribution tends to be. The measure of central tendency provide a validity and answers whether the scores are high or generally low.

In this measure,The mean is usually pulled to the tail. The skewed is determined by where the tail goes, to the right side , it is positively skewed and to the left side , it is known as negatively skewed distribution.

Given that:

In a frequency of distribution of 290 scores,

the mean = 99

the median = 86

One would expect this distribution to be; positively skewed to the right since the mean value is greater than the median value.
