Question
A quick survey gives the price-an estimated average for a 170-gram can-for 14 different brands of water-packed light tuna, based on prices paid nationally in supermarkets. 1.01 1.94 1.25 0.84 0.67 0.54 1.41 1.10 0.65 0.69 0.71 0.62 0.58 0.64 Find the average price for the 14 different brands of tuna. (round your answer to two decimal places.) Find the median price for the 14 different brands of tuna. (enter your answer to two decimal places.) Based on your findings in parts (a) and (b), do you think that the distribution of prices is skewed? Explain. More information is needed to determine skewness. Since the men is higher than the median, the distribution is slightly skewed to the right. Since the mean and median are equal, the distribution is not skewed. Since the median is higher than the mean, the distribution is slightly to the left.Explanation / Answer
(a)Average = 0.9035 = sum of all values/14
(b) 0.54 0.58 0.62 0.64 0.65 0.67 0.69 0.71 0.84 1.01 1.10 1.25 1.41 1.94
The median is the average of 0.69 and 0.71 which is 0.7
(c)Since the mean is more than the median the distribution is skewed to the right
