Question

A comic-strip writer churns out a different number of comic strips each day. For 16 days, the writer logged the number of comic strips written each day (sorted low to high): {1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7}. If the writer writes for one more day and comes up with 8 new comic strips, how will the skew be affected?
The distribution will be skewed to the negative side.
The distribution will be skewed to the positive side.
The distribution will have the same mean and median.
The distribution will have a mean lower than the median

Answer 1

B. Beacuse the high number skews the data to the left in case of a dot plot
Brainliest pls!!!

Answer 2

Answer: The distribution will be skewed to the positive side.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data : 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7

Since , the data is already arranged in order.

Median = Mean of two middle most values

$=\dfrac{3+3}{2}=3$

∴ Median = 3

Mean : $=\dfrac{\text{Sum of observation}}{\text{Number of observations}}$

$=\dfrac{55}{16}=3.4375$

Mode : Most repeated number = 3

Here the mean is greater than the median and mode, therefor the distribution will be positively skewed.
