(3 points) Which description best matches the distribution of order amounts?

Question 40 (3 points)
Which description best matches the distribution of order amounts?
☐ Approximately symmetrical
☐ Positively skewed, with a longer right tail
☐ Negatively skewed, with a longer left tail
☐ Approximately uniform
Question 41 (4 points)
Would the mean or median better describe a typical order amount for this distribution? Explain how the shape supports your choice. You do not need to calculate either measure.

Answer

  1. Question 40: Positively skewed, with a longer right tail

  2. Question 41: The median would better describe a typical order amount for this distribution. The distribution is positively skewed, meaning there are a few higher order amounts that could disproportionately affect the mean, making it higher than the typical order amount. The median, being the middle value, is less affected by these extreme values and would provide a better central tendency measure for this skewed distribution.
