If this data were put into a bar graph, which of the following would be true regarding the shape of the graph?
A. It would be skewed left
B. It would be skewed right
C. It would be bell shaped
D There is not enough information to tell

Answer 1

ok, so as you can see there is a greater amount of numbers along the 350 range than the 300 range, so since there are more on the higher numbers, it would be skewed to the right. Can you see that?

Answer 2

here you can see a graph of the data, see how its greater on the right side?

Answer 3

Yes perfect! Thank you so much! @jeweaver145

Answer 4

I have just one more and I let you off the hook at least for a second. Is that okay? @jeweaver145

Answer 5

skew refers to how the mean is affected, not the greater amount of data.

Answer 6

outliers pull the mean away from center, it skews the mean towards the tail.

Answer 7

i think youll find if you calculate the mean, it will lean heavier towards the side of greater data which is what we are seeing in this situation. I could be wrong but that is just my understanding

Answer 8

So is it skewing left or right?

Answer 9

its still right skewed

Answer 10

and yeah just open another question for me!

Answer 11

if we tilt this on its side ... you see that the 30s are smaller than the 35s

the 30s are pulling the mean away from the greater portion of the data

Answer 12

the mean is skewed to the left as a result ...

Answer 13

Ugh you guys lol
