Compare the skewed distributions. Mr. Hanley and Ms. Balch gave the same Algebra final exam to their classes. The histograms show the distribution of the scores for each class. In which range would you expect to find the median exam score for Ms. Balch's class?
In a skewed distribution, the median is often closer to the peak of the distribution rather than the tail.
Looking at the histograms provided, we can see that Ms. Balch's class has a left-skewed distribution, with a peak around the lower scores. Therefore, we would expect the median exam score for Ms. Balch's class to be in the lower range of scores, likely towards the left side of the distribution around the peak.
For Mr. Hanley's class, which has a right-skewed distribution with a peak towards the higher scores, we would expect the median to be towards the higher end of the distribution, likely around the peak on the right side.
