This Question: 1 pt A histogram of a set of dats indicates that the distribution of the dats is skewed right, whieh measure of central tendency will ely be larger the mean or the median? Why? Choose the cormest ser below O A. The median will kely be O B. The mean will Skely be larger becausn the lwrger beceuse the eeme vales in the eft tail tend to pul the median in the oppose extreme values in the let tail tend to pull the mean in the opposite direction of the tal pul the median in the drection of the The mean wil ely be larger because the extreme values in the right tail end to pull the e in direction of thea median will liksly be larger because the extreme values in the right tail tend to

Explanation / Answer

Please kindly note that when the histogram is right skewed that means the extreme number of observations are on right side.

Hence we get mean at the right tail side as there are exreme observations.

Hence MEAN will likely to be larger.

The mean will likely to be larger because the extreme values in the right tail tend to pull the mean in the direction of tail.

Hope this will help you. Thank ou :)
