Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a comic-strip writer churns out different numbers of comic strips each day. The writer logged the number of comic strips he wrote each day for 16 days and sorted the data in ascending order to create this data set.
1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 8
Mean = 3.77 and median =3.5
When mean > median, hence positively skewed.
skewness = 0.74
If 5 and 7 are added the data set in ascending order is
1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5,5. 6, 7,8
Mean = 3.7778 and median = 3.5
Difference of mean =0.0078 and
difference of median = 0
