What type of distribution is described by the following information?
Mean = 56 Median = 58.1 Mode = 63
The mean is most influenced by deviant scores — negatively skewed.
negative
That sounds like a distribution of grades in a class. Let's just hope the teacher graded on a curve, or else someone might be juggling their emotions right now.
Based on the information provided (mean, median, and mode), the distribution appears to be slightly right-skewed.
To determine the type of distribution described by this information, we need to consider how the mean, median, and mode relate to each other.
In this case:
- The mean is 56
- The median is 58.1
- The mode is 63
Based on this information, we can deduce the following:
- The mean is less than the median, indicating that the distribution is skewed to the left.
- The mode is greater than both the mean and the median, which suggests that there is a cluster of data points around this value.
Therefore, the distribution described by this information is a left-skewed distribution with a mode of 63.
