Question

The following data represent the weights (in grams) of a simple random sample of a candy Determine the shape of the distribution of weights of the candies by drawing a frequency histogram and computing the mean and the median. Which m Choose the correct frequency histogram below O A. 0.90 0.87 0.84 0.89 0.87 0.87 0.81 0.84 B. 79 85 91 79 85 91 79 85 91 Waight (grams) Weight (grams) Is the histogram for the data set skewed right, skewed left, or symmetric? O skewed left O skewed right O symmetric The mean weight of the candies is grams (Tvpe an integer or decimal rounded to the nearest thousandth as needed)

Explanation / Answer

Mean Weight= 0.868

No. of observations in a given range of candy weights

0.79-0.85:3

0.85-0.91:7

Above 0.868: 6

Histogram is skewed right as more frequencies are to the right of mean (6)

(C) represents the correct histogram of the data here
