A comic-strip writer churns out a different number of comic strips each day. For 16 days, the writer logged the number of comic strips written each day (sorted low to high): {1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7}. If the writer writes for one more day and comes up with 8 new comic strips, how will the skew be affected?

AThe distribution will be skewed to the negative side.

BThe distribution will be skewed to the positive side.

CThe distribution will have the same mean and median.

DThe distribution will have a mean lower than the median.

Verified Answer :

Leader

The distribution will be skewed to the positive side because the mean is greater than the median.
Mean: 3.7
Median: 3

Answer: B

The distribution will be skewed to the positive side, the correct option is B.

What is mean?

Mean is the average of the data set obtained by summing all the values of the data set and then dividing it by the number of data in the set.

The data of the comic strips written is

{1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7}

Mean = 54/16

Mean = 3.375

Median = 3

When 8 is added to the data

Mean = 3.64

Median = 3

The Mean > Median, so the distribution will be skewed to the positive side.
