Using the following distribution, calculate the following measures of central tendency: State Proportion of Residents Without Health Insurance Louisiana 0.19 New Jersey 0.13 New York 0.16 Pennsylvania 0.11 Rhode Island 0.09 South Carolina 0.13 Texas 0.25 Washington 0.14 Wisconsin 0.10
N = 9
Identify the variable:
Identify the median:
Identify the mean:
How would you describe the shape of the distribution:

(a) Residents

(b)

(c)  

(d) Right skewed

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The data of residents without health insurance

Solving (a): The variable

The variable is the residents

Solving (b): The median

First, we sort the data

So, the median position is:

The 5th element of the dataset is: 0.13

So:

Solving (c): The mean

This is calculated as:

Solving (d): The shape of the distribution

In (b) and (c), we have:

By comparison, the mean is greater than the median.

Hence, the shape is: right skewed.
