Question

question #1 eighty - five students took a test in their algebra class yesterday. if the mean grade was 73% and the median grade was 80%, what is a likely description of the shape of the distribution? a the distribution is normal. b the distribution is skewed right. c the distribution is skewed left. d the distribution is symmetric.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall distribution - shape rules

In a normal distribution, mean = median. Here, mean ($73\%$) < median ($80\%$).

Step2: Identify skewness

When mean < median, the distribution is skewed left.

Answer:

C. The distribution is skewed left.
