Answer:

B. distribution skewed to the right, mean pulled to the right, median not effected

Step-by-step explanation:

When a distribution is skewed to the right, it means that the data is positively skewed or has more positive numbers than negative numbers.

An outlier can affect the mean of a distribution since a high value outlier will make the mean be much higher than the median. In this case, since the distribution is positively skewed, a high outlier will pull the mean to the right (to higher positive values).

Answer:

Three contributing factors that led to human trafficking

Political instability, militarism, civil unrest, internal armed conflict and natural disasters may result in an increase in trafficking. The destabilization and displacement of populations increase their vulnerability to exploitation and abuse through trafficking and forced labour.
