Question

A survey found that the median number of calories consumed per day in a certain country was 3,304 and the mean was 3,204.9 calories. If a histogram were constructed for the data, would you expect it to be skewed to the right, to the left, or approximately symmetric

Answer 1

Answer:

Skewed to the left

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Median = 3304$

$Mean = 3204.9$

Required

The type of distribution

From the given data, we have:

$Median \ne Mean$ --- Mean and Median are not equal

and

$Median > Mean$ --- Median is greater than mean

When the median is greater than the mean; the histogram is expected to be left skewed
