Question

A distribution has a mean of 100 and a medium of 120. The shape of this distribution is more likely (a) skewed left (b) skewed right (c) symmetric

Answer 1

I think it would be C

Answer 2

explain why because I thought it would be skewed to the right

Answer 3

Since the median is greater than the mean, you can expect there to be more data points to the right of the mean. Because of this, you can (probably) expect the right tail to be longer, so yes, I'd agree with picking right skew.

It's certainly not symmetric - if that were the case, then you'd have mean = median.
