Question

A car salesperson sells cars at prices ranging from $5,000 to $45,000. the histogram shows the distribution of the numbers of cars he expects to sell over the next 10 years.
the median of the car is ___.

- $20,000
- $25,000
- $30,000
- $40,000

the distribution exhibits ___.

- a negative skew
- a positive skew
- symmetry
- uniformity throughout

Answer 1

It is 25,000 and a positive skew

Answer 2

Answer :

Given that : a car salesperson sells cars at prices ranging from $5,000 to $45,000.

So, The least price = $5000

The largest price = $45000

$\implies Median=\frac{5000+45000}{2}\\\\\implies Median = \ 25000$

Therefore, The correct option is B. $25000

Now, we need to state what the distribution exhibits

From the graph we can see at the both sides of the median the graph is similar on the either side.

⇒ The graph is symmetrical about the median.

Hence, The distribution exhibits symmetry.

Therefore, The correct option is C. Symmetry
