The students in Marly’s math class recorded the dimensions of their bedrooms in a frequency table.

Create a histogram to represent the data. Which statement is most likely true about the mean and the median of the data?

A) The histogram is right-skewed, so the mean is less than the median.

B) The histogram is right-skewed, so the mean is greater than the median.

C) The histogram is left-skewed, so the mean is less than the median

D) The histogram is left-skewed, so the mean is greater than the median

Answer-

The histogram is right-skewed, so the mean is greater than the median.

Solution-

Plotting the histogram, it is evident that the distribution is right skewed or positive skewed.

The distribution is not symmetric around the mean, the tail of the distribution on the right hand (positive) side is longer than on the left hand side. For a right skewed distribution, the mean is typically greater than the median.

So, it this case the histogram is right-skewed, so the mean is greater than the median.

The true statement is: (b) the histogram is right-skewed, so the mean is greater than the median.

From the distribution table, we have the following highlight

  1. The frequencies of all the classes are not equal
  2. The frequencies of the first three classes is greater than the last 2 (i.e. more data on the left)

The above means that:

The distribution is right-skewed

When a distribution is right-skewed, it means that the mean is more than the median.

Hence, the true statement is (b)
