Many firms use on the job training to teach their employees computer programming. Suppose you work in the personnel department of a firm that just finished training a group of its employees to program, and you have been requested to review the performances of one of the trainees on the final test that was given to all trainees. The mean of the test score is 78. Additional information indicated that the median of the test scores was 85. What type of distribution most likely describes the shape of the test scores

Skewed to the left

Step-by-step explanation:

In pearson mode skewdness, the mean, mode and median are used to determine if we have a positive or negative skewed distribution.

Now, If the mean is greater than the median, it means that the distribution is positively skewed and therefore skewed to the right. However, If the mean is less than the median, it means that the distribution is negatively skewed and therefore skewed to the left.

In our question, the median is 85 and mean is 78. Thus, it means median is greater than the mean and as such, the distribution isnegatively skewed and therefore skewed to the left.
