Question

analyze the graph and determine the most appropriate measure of center. which of the following statements is true? the median is most appropriate because the graph is symmetric. the mean is most appropriate because the graph is symmetric. the median is most appropriate because the graph is skewed. the mean is most appropriate because the graph is skewed.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify graph shape

The graph is skewed as the tail on the right - hand side is longer.

Step2: Recall measure - center rules

For skewed data, the median is a better measure of center as the mean is affected by extreme values in the tail.

Answer:

The median is most appropriate because the graph is skewed.
