Answer 1

Which of the following is more likely to have a mean that is larger than the median?
the age of children in a family who has one son who is fifteen years older than the triplet daughters born last week
the price of a meal in a local small-town restaurant where the owner adds an inexpensive hot dog to the lunch menu *****************
the height of six buildings, if all buildings are equal in height except for one that is two stories shorter and one that is two stories taller than the rest
the scores of students (out of 100 points) on a very easy exam in which most get nearly perfect scores but a few do very poorly

Answer 2

The median would just be the middle number (or average of two middle numbers for even amount of values in the set).

If there are more values that are greater than this middle number (negative skewed, or skewed to the left distribution), then likely the mean>median.

If there are more values that are smaller than this middle number (positive skewed, or skewed to the right distribution), then likely the mean<median.

Answer 3

Am I correct?

Answer 4

I'm checking..

Answer 5

Okay :)

Answer 6

I am not too sure about this, but the rest of the answer-choices seem to not get mean>median, so think you are correct, but you might want to confirm this result with another opinion.

Answer 7

I think A would be correct...

Answer 8

Ages of kids:
0,0,0,15
mean = 3.75
median: 0

Answer 9

x+x+x+(x+15).

mean = (4x+15)/4
median = 2x/2

(4x+15) ? 2x/2
(4x+15) ? 4x/4

yes, @StudyGurl14 , you were correct.

Answer 10

(should have thought about it .. sorry for an obvious error)

Answer 11

really,
x, x, x, (x+15),

but i think you get the point

Answer 12
