    Question

    For a dataset, if the mean is 100 and the median is 90,

    the distribution is most likely:
    A Symmetrical Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Positively skewed Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Negatively skewed Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Leptokurtic Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Uniform Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    In a positively skewed distribution, the mean is pulled in the direction of the long tail (towards higher values), so the mean is typically greater than the median. Here, Mean (100) > Median (90), indicating positive skew.
