Answer:

The mean would be $322,343 and the median would be $196,723.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the distribution of individual incomes is skewed to the right, it means that the distribution has a long right tail.

Drawing a distribution with this characteristic, we can see how the majority of the data falls into the left side of the graphic, meaning that a lot of people receive less income. Following this reasoning, the mean which is the amount of the data (in this case individual income) divided by the amount of people, would be the higher number, meaning that the few people who earn more money would influence in making this number higher.

Following this reasoning, the median (which is not influenced by this difference) would be the less high number.

How do I solve this equation?
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

x=-3/11

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+3)/5 +2x=0

Multiply both sides by 5 to get rid of the fraction

5*( x+3)/5 +5*2x=0*5

x+3 + 10x =0

Combine like terms

11x +3 = 0

Subtract 3 from both sides

11x+3-3 =0-3

11x = -3

Divide by 11

11x/11 = -3/11

x = -3/11
