Question
which of the following statements is true about a graph that is skewed, such as the one above?
the mean is greater than the median.
the mean is equal to the median.
the mean is less than the median.
done
The given histogram is right - skewed (tail on the right side). In a right - skewed distribution, the mean is pulled in the direction of the tail (towards the larger values) and is greater than the median. The median is a measure of central tendency that is less affected by extreme values, while the mean is sensitive to extreme values. Since the tail is on the right (with larger values), the mean will be greater than the median.
