Question
### Understanding Distribution Types **Question: What type of distribution is described by the following information?** - **Mean = 56** - **Median = 58.1** - **Mode = 63** **Options:** 1. **Right (positively) skewed** 2. **(Left) negatively skewed** 3. **Bimodal** 4. **Symmetrical (Normal)** **Analysis:** - A distribution is **right (positively) skewed** if the mean is greater than the median, and the mode is the highest value. - A distribution is **left (negatively) skewed** if the mean is less than the median, and the mode is the lowest value. - A **bimodal** distribution has two different modes or peaks. - A distribution is **symmetrical (normal)** if the mean, median, and mode are all equal or very close in value. Based on the given data, identify which option correctly describes the distribution type.
