Choose the correct answer below.

Answer 1

Choose the correct answer below.

a. data skewed to the right have a longer left tail than right tail.

b. the mean and median should be used to identify the shape of the distribution.

c. for skewed​ data, the mode is farther out in the longer tail than the median.

d. in a symmetric and​ bell-shaped distribution, the​ mean, median, and mode are the same.

Answer: The Option A is not correct, because in data skewed to the right have a longer right tail than left tail.

The Option B is not correct, because we need mean, median and mode to identify the type of distribution

The Option C is not correct, because in skewed data we can not always have mode farther out in the longer tail than the median.

The Option D is correct, because in symmetric or bell shaped distribution the mean, median and mode are identical

Therefore, the correct answer here is Option D. in a symmetric and​ bell-shaped distribution, the​ mean, median, and mode are the same.
