When skewed right is the mean greater than median?
When a distribution is skewed to the right, the mean is greater than median.
If there are outliers then the mean will be greater than the median its true or false?
true
What is the shape of a frequency distribution with an arithmetic mean of 800 pounds median of 758 pounds and a mode of 750 pounds?
As the mean is greater than the median it will be positively skewed (skewed to the right), and if the median is larger than the mean it will be negatively skewed (skewed to the left)
What are the characteristics of mean as a measure of central tendency?
One of the characteristics of mean when measuring central tendency is that when there are positively skewed distributions, the mean is always greater than the median. Another characteristic is that when there are negatively skewed distributions, the mean is always less than the median.
What is the mean is greater than the median and the median is greater than the mode?
I am guessing you are asking for an example of a set of numbers with these properties. Let's start with 5 numbers, so the median will be the middle number; say 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. The median is 3, but so is the mean. Now let's replace the 5 with 10. The median is still 3, but the mean is 4. To make the mode less than 3, let us change the 2 into a 1. Now the median is still 3, the mode is 1, and the mean is 3.8. So 1, 1, 3, 4, 10 will work.
