The u. s. census bureau reports that in the year 2008, the mean household income was $68,424 and the median was $50,303. if a histogram were constructed for the incomes of all households in the united states, would you expect it to be skewed to the right, skewed to the left, or approximately symmetric?

Skewed to the Right

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, great question. These types are questions are the beginning steps for learning more advanced problems.

Since the mean household income is  $64,424 and the median was $50,303 then the mean is larger than the median. When this occurs then the constructed histogram is always Skewed to the Right. This is because there are a couple of really large values that affect the mean but not the middle value of the data set.

This in term leads to the graph dipping in values the farther right you go and increasing the farther left you go, as shown in the example picture below.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at

a line is an defined derm because it

a)contains an infinite number of points b) can be used to create other geometric shapes c)describes something that does not have width or depth d) is a term that does not have a formal definition. a line is an undefined term because it: contains an infinite number of points.

logv3(x+2)=1

rewrite in exponential form:

logb(x) = y is equal to b^y =x

b = 3, y = 1

now solve for x:

3^1 = x+2)

x = 3-2

x = 1

see the picture for the graph.
