The students in Marly’s math class recorded the dimensions of their bedrooms in a frequency table.

2-column table with 5 rows. First column labeled area (square feet) with entries 60 is less than or equal to A is less than 80, 80 is less than or equal to A is less than 100, 100 is less than or equal to A is less than 120, 120 is less than or equal to A is less than 140, 140 is less than or equal to A is less than 160. Second column labeled number of rooms with entries 4,6,5,3,1.
Create a histogram to represent the data. Which statement is most likely true about the mean and the median of the data?

The histogram is right-skewed, so the mean is less than the median.
The histogram is right-skewed, so the mean is greater than the median.
The histogram is left-skewed, so the mean is less than the median.
The histogram is left-skewed, so the mean is greater than the median.

Answer:

The histogram is right-skewed, so the mean is greater than the median.

Step-by-step explanation:

The true statement about the mean and the median of the data is that: B. histogram is right-skewed, so the mean is greater than the median.

What is a histogram?

A histogram refers to a type of chart that is used to graphically represent and display a set of data points into user-specified ranges, especially through the use of bars (rectangles).

Based on the distribution table, we can deduce the following points:

  • The frequencies of the bedroom areas are not equal.
  • The frequencies of the first three bedroom areas are greater than the last two (2) areas, which implies that there would be more data on the left side.

This ultimately implies that, the distribution of data on the histogram is right-skewed and as such the mean is greater than the median.
