2000-2499: 4
2500-2999: 8
3000-3499: 2

Answer 2

The 60 longest rivers in the world have lengths in miles distributed as follows:

1000-1499: 21
1500-1999: 22

2500-2999: 8
3000-3499: 2
3500-3999: 2
4000-4499: 1

Which of the following BEST describes this data? 1) Symmetric with mean larger than median
2) Skewed with median larger than mean
3) Skewed with mean larger than median
4) Symmetric with mean = median
5) Symmetric with median larger than mean

Answer 3

skewed to the left; so mean is above median; number 3

Answer 4

median = 8
mean = greater than 8 :)
