Question

    The histogram above represents the lifespan of a random

    sample of a particular type of insect. Determine the relationship between the mean and median.
    A mean = median Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B mean ≈ median Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C mean < median Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D mean > median Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    If the distribution of data is skewed to the right, the mode is often less than the median, which is less than the mean. (mean > median > mode). Here, the histogram is rightly skewed.
