Question 5 • Algebra II

For the graphs, for which probability distribution is the value of the median greater than the value of the mean?

Answer
A
Negatively skewed
B
Normal, symmetrical distribution
C
Positively skewed distribution
D
None of the above

Explanation

In a negatively skewed distribution, the long tail extends to the left, pulling the mean toward the smaller values. The median is less affected by extreme values, so it is greater than the mean. Therefore, the correct choice is negatively skewed.
