Question

Given a dataset with the following properties:

Answer 1

Answer:

The distribution is positively skewed.

Step-by-step explanation:

A measure of skewness is defined in such a way that the measure should always be zero when the distribution is symmetric and measure should be a pure number i.e independent of origin and units of measurement.

The shape of the distribution can be found by finding the coefficient of skewness.

The coefficient of skewness can be found by  

Sk= 3(Mean-Median)/ Standard Deviation

Sk= 3( 50-40)5= 30/5=6

The shape will be positively skewed.

In a positively skewed distribution the mean > median > mode. It has a long right tail.
