Answer: A
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since it remains only 1 sweet, we can subtract it from the total and get the amount of sweets distributed (=1024).
As all the sweets are distributed equally, we must divide the number of distributed sweets by all its dividers (excluding 1024 and 1, we'll see later why):
1) 512 => 2 partecipants
2) 256 => 4 partecipants
3) 128 => 8 partecipants
4) 64 => 16 partecipants
5) 32 => 32 partecipants
6) 16 => 64 partecipants
7) 8 => 128 partecipants
9) 4 => 256 partecipants
10) 2 => 512 partecipants
The number on the left represents the number of sweets given to the partecipants, and on the right we have the number of the partecipants. Note that all the numbers on the left are dividers of 1024.
Why excluding 1 and 1024? Because the problem tells us that there remains 1 sweet. If there was 1 sweet for every partecipant, the number of partecipants would be 1025, but that's not possible as there remains 1 sweet. If it was 1024, it wouldn't work as well because the sweets are 1025 and if 1 is not distributed it goes again against the problem that says all sweets are equally distributed.
The distribution shape that tells us for which it is best to use the mean is the skewed.
<h3>What is the mean?</h3>
This is the term that is used to refer to the average score that exists in a data set.
In the question, these are the reasons why the other options are not correct
When we say Bimodal we are talking about the 2 modes that are in a symmetric distribution. This has nothing to do with the mean
The bell shape has to do with how the normal distribution is when it is drawn. It would create a bell shape hence the mean is not useful.
symmetric has to do with the fact that there are mirror images when the vertical line is drawn in the distribution.
Uniformed shapes tells us that the classes are made up of the same frequency all through.
The skewed shape is what tells us if the median is more or if it is less.
Hence we have the answer that the distribution shapes for which it is most often appropriate to use the mean is the skewed.
