During a recent semester at a large national university, students having accounts on a mainframe computer had hard drive use (in kilobytes) described by the five-number summary, minimum = 201, Q1 =407, median = 599. Q3 = 1175, and maximum = 320,000. Complete parts a and b below. a. Would you expect this distribution to be symmetric, skewed to the right, or skewed to the left? Explain. Fill in the blanks to complete the statement below. The distribution is, because the median is

Explanation / Answer

minimum = 201

Q1 = 407

meadian =599

Q3 = 1175

maximum =320000

The distribution is skewed to the right ,because the median is closer to the min
