b/

The price of Lending Tree, a peer-to-peer lender, moved 5.5% recently in one day. How do we judge if this is a large movement?

The histogram below shows the odometer readings (in miles) of Honda Civic automobiles listed for sale on the Seattle Times Web site on November 26, 2003 20 90000 180000 mileage (miles) Which of the following terms apply to this histogram? (Select all that apply.) symmetric Onegatively skewed uniform bimodal unimodal Opositively skewed Which measure of center is most appropriate for this data? mean Omedian Which measure of spread is most appropriate for this data? Orange O standard deviation IQR

Explanation / Answer

Solution:

a) Given histogram data is unimodal and positively skewed.

b) Measure of center is Median, it is more appropriate for data.

Reason : When the data is skewed, the median is more appropriate to use as the measure of a center.

c) Measure of spread for this data is IQR.

Reason: If a data has skewness,IQR is used as a measure of spread.
