The figure shows the age distribution of homebuyers and the percent of the market each age range makes up in a particular geographic region. Based on the information in the figure, which of the following statements is true?

• The shape of the data is skewed to the right, so the mean age of homebuyers is greater than the median.

• The shape of the data is skewed to the left, so the median age of homebuyers is greater than the mean.

• The shape of the data is fairly symmetric, so the mean age of homebuyers is approximately equal to the median.

• The data has no clear shape, so it is impossible to make a reliable statement comparing the mean and the median.

What is the shape of the data?

• symmetrical

• skewed left

• skewed right

• bell curve

In a unimodal and right-skewed distribution, the mean is​ ​ (a)   the median.

• equal to

• greater than

• not equal to

• impossible to locate compared to

• less than

When a set of data is not symmetrical it can skewed, meaning it tends to have a long tail on the left or right side.
