Question

question 1 of 10
which statement is most likely to be true for this distribution?
a. the mean is the same as the median.
b. the mean is greater than the median.
c. the mean is less than the median.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the distribution shape

The dot plot shows a right - skewed (positively skewed) distribution. In a right - skewed distribution, the tail is on the right side.

Step2: Recall the relationship between mean, median, and skewness

For a right - skewed distribution, the mean is pulled in the direction of the tail (to the right) more than the median. So, the mean is greater than the median.

Answer:

B. The mean is greater than the median.
