explain whether the distribution of he data is symmetrical or skewed calulate the median and mean state the best measure of the center
the distribution of the data is what?
the median is what?
the mean is what?
the best measure of the center is what?
The distribution of the data is skewed to the right, as there are more values on the right side of the distribution and a longer tail to the right.
The median is the middle value of the data set when arranged in numerical order. In this case, as there are 8 values, the median would be the average of the 4th and 5th values, which are both 3.
The mean is the average of all the values in the data set. Adding up all the values (0+1+2+3+3+4+4+4) and dividing by the total number of values (8) gives a mean of 2.75.
Since the data is skewed, the best measure of the center would be the median. This is because the mean can be heavily influenced by extreme values in a skewed distribution, while the median is more representative of the central tendency of the data.
