Question

Making Friends Online

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

) Do you expect the distribution of number of friends made online to be symmetric, skewed to the right, or skewed to the left?

Skewed to the left.

Symmetric

Skewed to the right.

(b) Two measures of center for this distribution are 1 friend and 5.3 friends. Which is most likely to be the mean and which is most likely to be the median?

Mean=

Median=

----------------------------------

a)

as proportion of people with 0 friends is 43% whcih is on left side and maximum ; and % decrease with increasing number of friends

skewed to the right

b)

as it is skewed to the right ; therefore mean is greater than median

mean=5.3

median=1

[since for skwewed to the right distribution :mean is always greater than median, therefore higher value should be mean which is 5.3 and lower value is median which is 1]
