In a positively skewed distribution, which of the following is true about the mean, median, and mode?
A. Mean > Median > Mode
B. Mean < Median < Mode
C. Mean = Median = Mode
D. Mean < Median > Mode



Answer :

Answer:The correct answer is A. Mean > Median > Mode.

In a positively skewed distribution:

- The mean is pulled in the direction of the tail, making it greater than the median.

- The median is a better representation of the central tendency, as it's less affected by the extreme values.

- The mode is typically the peak of the distribution, which is often lower than the median in a positively skewed distribution.

So, the correct order is:

Mean > Median > Mode

Here's why the other options are incorrect:
