The following 5-number summaries were obtained for two distributions , a and b

a. 3.2 4.9 5.7 5.9 8.2
b. 2.7 5.1 5.7 6.9 7.5

the distribution of a is skewed to the right , whereas the distribution of b is skewed to the left.

how are the means of the two distributions related ?

a. the mean of a is equal to the mean of b
b. it cannot be determined from the given information
c. the mean of b is higher than the mean of a
d. the mean of a is higher than the mean of b

answer: 43/157

this is the answer and if you try to prove me wrong your a meanie

answer: c, the green line

step-by-step explanation:

there is no black line, eliminate b.

simple interest implies periodic payments, but the red line shows no payments, eliminate d.

simple interest has equal payments. if paid say every day, the graph is about a straight line (actually a stairstep).

the yellow line is not straight, eliminate a.

check: the green line is straight, answer is c.

simple interest with positive interest rate gives a straight line sloping up to the right. green line:

g(t) = $100 + ($200-$100) ÷ (20 years) × (t years)

= $100 + (4%/year) × ($100)(t years)

incidentally, the yellow line curving upward represents continuously compounded interest

y = $100 × 2^(t years / (14 assuming the yellow line hits $200 at 14 years. 2^0 is 1, so y(0) = $100; 2^(14/14) is 2, so y(14) = $200.
