What is the shape of the following distribution? {9, 10, 10, 11, 11, 12, 12, 13, 13, 13, 14, 14, 14, 14, 15, 15, 15, 15, 16, 16, 16, 16, 17, 17, 17, 17, 18, 19, 20} A) negative skew B) postive skew C) symmetric D) asymmetric with no skew E) none of the above * WILL GIVE MEDAL*
@TheAsker2002 @Data_LG2
which do you think it is?
Im thinking its a positive skew, but im not sure
To determine the distribute shape, always look at the mean, median and mode. if mean = median, then it is symmetric. if mean < median < mode, skewed to the left. (negative skew) if mean > median > mode, skewed to the right. (positive skew)
9 | 9 10| 10 10 11| 11 11 12| 12 12 13| 13 13 13 14| 14 14 14 14 15| 15 15 15 15 16| 16 16 16 16 17| 17 17 17 17 18| 18 19| 19 20 | 20 try graphing it and drawing a line threw the points
thanks
