Answer to Question #224294 in Statistics and Probability for ben

Question

 Describe the shape of distribution of the weight of cartons for supplier A and supplier B, 

respectively. Estimate the mode for the weight of cartons from each supplier, which supplier 

weight more? Explain.

Answer 1

Solution:

Here data is missing, so we cannot describe the distribution and its shape.

We can discuss this in general.

Data can be symmetrical or skewed.

Some distributions are symmetrical, with data evenly distributed about the mean.

Other distributions are skewed, with data tending to the left or right of the mean.

Mode is the observation occurring with maximum frequency.
