Use the following data set to answer the questions. 13 15 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 23 27 31 a. What is the mean? b. What is the mode? c. What is the median? d. Which of the following statements are correct? O The median is the middle of a data set. Half of the data points are always less than the median, and half are always greater than the median. O The median is the middle of a data set. At least half of the data points are always equal to the median. O The median is not the middle of a data set. You cannot predict the distribution of the numbers in relationship to the median. O The median is the middle of a data set. Half of the data points are either less than or equal to the median.

Consider the following data values. 6 12 17 2 15 6 17 18 a) Calculate the mean. b) Calculate the median. c) Determine the mode. d) Describe the shape of the distribution. a) Calculate the mean. x = (Type an integer or decimal rounded to three decimal places as needed.) b) Calculate the median. Median = (Do not round.) c) Determine the mode(s). Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice. A. The mode(s) is(are). (Use a comma to separate answers as needed.) B. There is no mode in this data set. d) Describe the shape of the distribution. For the purposes of this exercise, consider the mean and the median to be "approximately equal" if their difference is less than 1. Choose the correct answer below. A. Because the mean and median are approximately equal, this distribution's shape is symmetrical. B. Because the mean is less than the median, this distribution's shape is symmetrical. C. Because the mean is greater than the median, this distribution's shape is right-skewed. D. Because the mean is less than the median, this distribution's shape is left-skewed.
