THIS IS THE COMPLETE QUESTION;

A school creates a histogram representing the individual travel times for students riding the bus to school. The histogram is right-skewed, and the mean time is 25 minutes.

Which statement best describes the possible value of the median time of students riding the bus to school?

The median time is less than 25 minutes.

The median time is exactly equal to 25 minutes.

The median time is approximately equal to 25 minutes.

The median time is greater than 25 minutes.

Answer;

The median time is less than 25 minutes

Step-by-step explanation

✓When the histogram is skewed right, it implies that the mean is greater than the median which means The median time is less than the mean.

This is as a result of few large values that drive as a result of skewed-right data

✓Skewness can be explained as measure of the asymmetry of a histogram When a histogram is symmetrical when it has a normal distribution, i.e when the same amount of data falls on both sides of the mean. Ahistogram has a normal distribution will have a skewness of 0.

✓the skewness can be explained in terms positive/right relationship:

√nonparametric skew implies that the mean is greater than the median, which means it is at the the right.

√A negative/left nonparametric skew can be explained as when the mean is < the median. I e it fall to the left .

Therefore, the median is less than 25 minutes

Help for brainiest and extra points !!!

aalyn [17]

Answer:

1. A, because 4(2)=8. 2 is the x.

2. B, because 2.5 x 4 = 10, which makes sense.

3. B, because 5x is the amount that you want to put into equal parts and the 3 is just being subtracted from the amount of the equal parts from the 5x.

4. C.

Sample annual salaries (in thousands of dollars) for employees at a company are listed. 42 36 48 51 39 39 42 36 48 33 39 42 45 (

Sonja [21]

Answer:

a) Data given: 42 36 48 51 39 39 42 36 48 33 39 42 45

$\bar X = 41.538$

$s = 5.317$

b) 44.1, 37.8, 50.4, 53.55, 40.95, 44.1, 37.8, 50.4 ,34.65, 40.95, 44.1, 47.25

$\bar X = 43.615$

$s= 5.583$

c) 3.5, 3, 4, 4.25, 3.25, 3.25, 3.5, 3, 4, 2.75, 3.25, 3.5, 3.75

$\bar X= 3.462$

$s = 0.443$

d) As we can see, the average of part b is 1.05 times the average of part a (1.05 * 41.538 = 43.615) and the average of part c is equal to the average obtained in part a divided by 12 (41.538 / 12 = 3.462).

And that happens because we create linear transformations for the parts b and c and the linear transformation affects the mean.

And you have the same interpretation for the deviation, it is affected by the linear transformation as the mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can use the following formulas for the mean and standard deviation:

$\bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}$

$s = \sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}$

Part a

Data given: 42 36 48 51 39 39 42 36 48 33 39 42 45

And if we calculate the mean we got:

$\bar X = 41.538$

$s = 5.317$

Part b

For this case we know that each value present a 5% of rise so we just need to multiply each value bu 1.05 and we have this new dataset:

44.1, 37.8, 50.4, 53.55, 40.95, 44.1, 37.8, 50.4 ,34.65, 40.95, 44.1, 47.25

And if we calculate the new mean and deviation we got:

$\bar X = 43.615$

$s= 5.583$

Part c

The new dataset would be each value divided by 12 so we have:

3.5, 3, 4, 4.25, 3.25, 3.25, 3.5, 3, 4, 2.75, 3.25, 3.5, 3.75

And the new mean and deviation would be:

$\bar X= 3.462$

$s = 0.443$

Part d

As we can see, the average of part b is 1.05 times the average of part a (1.05 * 41.538 = 43.615) and the average of part c is equal to the average obtained in part a divided by 12 (41.538 / 12 = 3,462).

And that happens because we create linear transformations for the parts b and c and the linear transformation affects the mean.

And you have the same interpretation for the deviation, it is affected by the linear transformation as the mean.
