La Twenty girls (ages 9-10) competed in the 50-meter freestyle event at a local swim meet. The mean time was 43.70 seconds with a standard deviation of 8.07 seconds. The median time was 40.15 with an IQR of 4.98 seconds. Without looking at a graphical display. Su what shape would you expect the distribution of swim times to have? Pe Choose the correct answer below. O A. The distribution is likely to be skewed to the left since the mean is greater than the median. The presence of outliers on the low end could explain the fact that the IQR is smaller than the standard deviation OB. The distribution is likely to be skewed to the right since the mean is greater than the median. The presence of outliers on the high end could explain the higher standard deviation and the greater mean. OC. The distribution is likely to be symmetric since the mean is similar to the median and the IQR is considerably smaller than the standard deviation OD. The distribution is likely to be skewed since the mean and median are different, but it is not possible to predict the direction of the skew
La Su Pe A collection of data on class sizes at a community college produces the five-number summary below. Comment on the shape of the distribution of class sizes. Min = 12 Q, = 22 Max = 40 Q2 = 35 Q3 = 38 Choose the correct answer below. OA. The distribution appears to be skewed right since the median is further from the first quartile than the third quartile. Also, the left whisker would be longer than the right whisker in a boxplot for the data. B. The distribution appears to be skewed left since the median is further from the first quartile than the third quartile. Also, the left whisker would be longer than the right whisker in a boxplot for the data, OC. The distribution appears to be skewed left since the median is closer to the first quartile than the third quartile. Also, the right whisker would be longer than the left whisker in a boxplot for the data. D. The distribution appears to be fairly symmetric since the median is about the same distance from the first and third quartiles.
