Consider the following data values: a) Calculate the mean. b) Calculate the median. c) Determine the mode. d) Describe the shape of the distribution. a) Calculate the mean (decimal rounded to three decimal places as needed): x b) Calculate the median (Do not round) necessary: fill in the answer box. c) Determine the mode(s) (separate answers needed) (Use commas). There is no mode in this data set. For the purposes of this exercise, consider the mean distribution. Describe the shape of the left-skewed distribution. Because the mean is less than the median, this distribution's shape is left-skewed. Because the median is greater than the mean, this distribution's shape is right-skewed. Because the mean and median are approximately equal, this distribution's shape is approximately symmetrical. Because the mean is greater than the median, this distribution's shape is right-skewed. Choose the correct answer below: The shape of the distribution is right-skewed.
. Calculate the mean, mode, and median of the data in Exercise 1 .
Symmetric or Skewed? Based on the values of the mean and the median, decide whether the data set is skewed right, skewed left, or approximately symmetric in Exercises $5-8 .$ $$ \bar{x}=6.2 ; m=10 $$
