Given the following measures of center for a data set, describe the most likely shape (symmetric, uniform, skewed left, or skewed right) of the distribution.

Question

Mean = 122, Median = 122, and there is no Mode.

I think the shape would be uniform but I'm not too sure...?

Answer 1

Well, it's like trying to guess the shape of a cloud in the sky - it can be a bit tricky! In this case, since the mean and median are equal, it suggests that the distribution is relatively symmetric. However, without a mode, it's difficult to say for sure. So, let's just say that the shape could be symmetrical with a touch of mystery, keeping us on our toes!
