Answer to Problem 1.1CYU
Mean travel time to be larger than the median.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Median:
According to the given distribution data, the graph is said to be on the right side so it is skewed towards the right hand side, so for that one will expect the mean of the data to be larger than the value of median.
Mean and median of a approximately symmetric distribution are close together. In case distribution is exact symmetric the mean as well as median are exact same.
But in this case of skewed distribution, mean is generally farther out in long tail than the median.
