The distribution of launch distances is best described as ___. So, the ___ are both appropriate measures of center.
Answer options:
1. approximately symmetric; mean and median
2. skewed to the right; mean and median
3. skewed to the left; mode and median
4. approximately symmetric; mode and range
The correct answer is 1. approximately symmetric; mean and median.
Explanation:
When a distribution is approximately symmetric, it means that the data values are evenly distributed around the center. In this case, both the mean (average) and the median (middle value) are appropriate measures of center because they will be similar and provide a good representation of the central tendency of the data.
