Question

the graphs shape is best described as skewed complete which of the following statements would you expect to be true? the mean is greater than the median. the mean is equal to the median. the mean is less than the median. done average yearly precipitation 50 states number of states 20 15 10 5 0 0-9.99 10-19.9 20-29.9 30-39.9 40-49.9 50-59.9 60-69.9 precipitation (in.)

Explanation:

Step1: Understand skewed - right distribution property

In a right - skewed distribution, the tail on the right side is longer. The mean is pulled in the direction of the tail. The median is the middle value and is less affected by extreme values in the tail.

Step2: Analyze the given histogram

The histogram is skewed to the right as the tail on the higher precipitation values side (right side) is longer.

Step3: Determine relationship between mean and median

For a right - skewed distribution, the mean is greater than the median because the extreme high values in the right tail increase the mean but have less impact on the median.

Answer:

The mean is greater than the median.
