Question

When analyzing data on the number of employees in small companies in one town, a researcher took square roots of the counts. Some of the resulting values, which are reasonably symmetric, were 4, 4, 6, 7, 7, 8, and 10. What were the original values, and how are they distributed? The original values were (Simplify your answers. Use a comma to separate answers as needed.) Describe the distribution of these values. Choose the correct answer below. O A. The values are roughly symmetric, but skewed slightly towards the lower values. O B. The values are perfectly symmetric. O C. The values are roughly symmetric, but skewed slightly towards the higher values. O D. The values are not symmetric.

Explanation / Answer

The original values will be the square of given values. So, the original values will be:

16, 16, 36, 49, 49, 64, 100

Distribution: Option D is correct.
