@amistre64 Could you please help me?

amistre64 · Answer

well, the distribution is skewed, and we expect the mean of a skewed distribution to be a little off from the mode:

|dw:1401205143362:dw|


when we have a normal distribution, the the central tendencies become more equal and the hump in the curve becomes centralized.

amistre64 · Answer

the mean is the point in the horizontal axis which can be considered the balancing point .... so if we consider the number of blocks, and their distance from a focal point, the focal point is what balances it all out

Okay I understand a little..

amistre64 · Answer

visually, this cant balance at 10 or 2,  5 is still heavy to the left.

3 is slightly heavy to the right,   as a rough estimate i would have to go with 4 as the most reasonable.  but im still reviewing some stuff to be certian
