In a negatively skewed distribution.
a. The mean is lower than the median and the mode.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A positively skewed distribution is caused by
a. A few extremely high scores
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Median is the average of middle two values when arranging in increasing order.
13,23,27,29
( 23 + 27) / 2 = 50/2 = 25
b. 25
In a negatively skewed distribution The mean is lower than the median and...
14. For a negatively skewed distribution with a mode of X-25 and a median of 20, the mean is probably a greater than 25 b. less than 20 c. between 20 and 25 d. cannot be determined from the information given 15. A distribution is positively skewed. Which of the most probable order for the three measures of central tendency? a mean - 40, median - 50, mode - 60 b. mean-60, median - 50, mode - 40 c. mean...
In a positively skewed distribution with a mean (average) of 100 and median of 90 is A Positively skewed B. Negatively skewed C. Neither D. Cannot be determined by the information
For a skewed distribution, is it true that the mean is always larger than the median and that the median is always larger than the mode? Provide justification for your answer.
15. For a positively skewed distribution, the mean usually has a larger value than either the median or the mode. Hint: Sketch a positively skewed distributions and then figure out where the mean would be for that distribution. . .need to think about this one…sketching always seems to help. a. True b. False
Which average is the LARGEST measure of central tendency in a NEGATIVELY skewed distribution? Arithmetic mean Median Mode Geometric mean
PLEASE ANSWER ALL THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS: 1) What shape would you expect for the distribution of scores from a very hard exam for a large class of students? a) positively skewed b) negatively skewed c) symmetrical d) normal 2) A distribution is positively skewed. Which is the most probable order for the three measures of central tendency? a) mean = 60, median = 50, mode = 40 b) mean = 40, median = 50, mode = 60 c) mean =...
If you have a distribution that is skewed right is the mean or the median going to have a higher value? Look at the picture of a right skewed data set. ab Save
If more scores are clustered at the high-scores end of a distribution and only a few scores are at the low-score end, the the distribution is _____. answer- a. positively skewed b. negatively skewed c. symmetrical and unimodal d. asymmetrical and bimodal
Which statement is INCORRECT?The value of the mean times the number of observations equals the sum of the observations.The standard deviation is expressed in terms of the original units of measurement but the variance is not.In a negatively skewed distribution, the mean is smaller than the median and the median is smaller than the mode.The interquartile range is found by taking the difference between the 1st and 3rd quartiles and dividing that value by 2.
If the population is negatively skewed, then the sampling distribution of the mean, with samples of size greater than 30, for thus distribution will be ___________.
