7 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The square root of 20 = 4.47 so a for sure.

But the root of 20 is also -4.48 so that means that 2 and 3 are added to the list

Now what to do about - 8

(- 8)^2 = 64

The square root of 64 = +/- 8

It's kind of slippery but it depends on how you see the problem. It is a bit ambiguous.

I would eliminate - 8 but your instructor may not. Argue that it should not be included, but don't take the argument on forever. Let it go.

a for sure.

b and c I think so.

-8 is iffy.

The distribution of individual incomes in the United States is strongly skewed to the right. In 2013, the mean and median income

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

The mean would be $322,343 and the median would be $196,723.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the distribution of individual incomes is skewed to the right, it means that the distribution has a long right tail.

Drawing a distribution with this characteristic, we can see how the majority of the data falls into the left side of the graphic, meaning that a lot of people receive less income. Following this reasoning, the mean which is the amount of the data (in this case individual income) divided by the amount of people, would be the higher number, meaning that the few people who earn more money would influence in making this number higher.

Following this reasoning, the median (which is not influenced by this difference) would be the less high number.
