Athe median is greater than the mean.The data is skew ed left (see the “ Tail” ).If data were symmetric (see the red line), then mean would = median. When skew ed left , the very low values in the tail “ pull” the mean down,but do not have the same effect on the median. “ Tail” ÷ So the mean is below the median, thus the answ er above.. !100 !75 -50 0 50 ² In B, many data In D, the data are moreOf these three data distributions, are clustered close “spread out” .
