Answer: 12 inches

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, since we're asked to find the length of the median, let's use our formula for the area of a trapezoid that involves the median which is shown below.

Area = median · height

We know that the area is 144 and the height is 9 so we can set up the equation 144 = M · 12. Now to solve for m, we divide both sides of the equation by 12 and we find that 12 = M.

So the length of the median of the trapezoid is 12 inches.

The correct answer is:

The median is less than the mean.

Explanation:

This histogram is skewed right; the data "peaks" further to the left than the center.

If a histogram is skewed right, the mean is greater than the median.

This is because skewed-right data have a few large values that increase the mean but do not affect where the exact middle of the data is.
