(a) Check the appropriate choice of distribution based on the statistics given. The distribution should be skewed to the left because the mean is greater than the median. The distribution should be skewed to the right because the standard deviation is greater than the mean. The distribution should be skewed to the right because the mean is greater than the median. The distribution should be skewed to the left because the variance is greater than the mean. (b) Select the factor that might cause the distribution to be like this. Most ATM transactions will tend to be high in duration, but a few will be of longer duration. Most ATM transactions will tend to be low in duration, but a few will be of lower duration.
