Question

Are the data shown in this line plot skewed left, skewed right, or not skewed?

not skewed

skewed left

skewed right

Answer 1

The data is Skewed right since most of the data is on the left side, the right side points are screwing up the mean and median.

Answer 2

Answer with explanation:

Writing the data values which is represented on the line plot

0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,3,3,3,3,4,4,5,8,10

There are 26 variate in the data set.

Mean of the data set is

$M=\frac{0\times 4 +1\times 5 +2\times 8+3\times 4+4\times 2+5\times 1+8\times 1+10\times 1}{26}\\\\=\frac{0+5+16+12+8+5+8+10}{26}\\\\=\frac{64}{26}\\\\=2.47$

Median ,as there are even number of variate in the data set

   $=\frac{2+2}{2}\\\\=2$

Mode , which is maximum number of times occurring variate in the data set

=2

→Mean > Median and Mode

So, Data is Skewed Right.
