Which statement is most likely to be true for this distribution? A. The mean is the same as the median.

B. The mean is less than the median.

C. The mean is greater than the median.

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The distribution is skewed to the left (the lower end is pulled out to the left).  The mean is less than the median.  If the distribution were even more skewed to the left the mean would decrease, but the median (middle number in the data) would stay the same.

the correct answer is b) histograms can be used to exhibit the shape of distributions. this is because histograms count the frequency of each possible answer, so one is able to see which results are more common and which are less common.

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18
