Is the distribution symmetric or skewed?

• A. The distribution is skewed to the left.
• B. The distribution is symmetric.
• C. The distribution is skewed to the right.

Which of the following best describes the center?

• A. The center is best described by the mean since the distribution is symmetric and there are no outliers.
• B. The center is best described by the median since the distribution is skewed to the right and has an outlier.
• C. The center is best described by the median since the distribution is skewed to the left and has an outlier.

What is the spread?

• The acreage ranges from 30 to 270 acres.  

• 30, 90, 120, 210, 240, 270
