HEL NOA music teacher asked 23 students in the band how many hours they practiced playing their instrument each week. The results are shown in the dot plot. Which statement best describes
the data?
The data are skewed left, so most students' practice times are
less than the mean practice time.
Time Spent Practicing
The data are skewed left, so most students' practice times are
more than the mean practice time.

Hours
The data are skewed right, so most students' practice times are
more than the mean practice time.
The data are skewed right, so most students' practice times are
less than the mean practice time.

a. The data are skewed left, so most student's practice times are more than the mean practice time.

b. The data are skewed left, so most student's practice times are less than the mean practice time.

c. The data are skewed right, so most student's practice times are less than the mean practice time.

d. The data are skewed right, so most student's practice times are more than the mean practice time.

The correct option is a.

The data are skewed left, so most student's practice times are more than the mean practice time.

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to the attached box plot which shows number of hours the students spent on practice for playing their instrument each week.

When the data distribution is not symmetric around the mean then it is either skewed to right or skewed to left.

The given box plot is skewed to the left since the tail of the distribution on the left side is longer than the right side or in other words, most of the data is leaning to the right side of the curve.

Due to this, most student's practice times are more than the mean practice time.

A left skewed distribution is also known as negatively skewed distribution.

Therefore, we can conclude that the correct option is a.

a. The data are skewed left, so most student's practice times are more than the mean practice time.

Step-by-step explanation:

hello i am doing good for you that it's summer in your country or state ; )

btw in my country we just have sun and rain as (because i live in the caribbean lol)

also, thx a lot for the points : )

"it's not the heat, it's the humidity".   that's a partly valid phrase you may have heard in the summer, but it's actually both.   the heat index, also known as the apparent temperature, is what the temperature feels like to the human body when relative humidity is combined with the air temperature.   this has important considerations for the human body's comfort.   when the body gets too hot, it begins to perspire or sweat to cool itself off.   if the perspiration is not able to evaporate, the body cannot regulate its temperature.   evaporation is a cooling process.   when perspiration is evaporated off the body, it effectively reduces the body's temperature.   when the atmospheric moisture content (i.e. relative humidity) is high, the rate of perspiration from the body decreases.   in other words, the human body feels warmer in humid conditions.   the opposite is true when the relative humidity decreases because the rate of perspiration increases.   the body actually feels cooler in arid conditions.   there is direct relationship between the air temperature and relative humidity and the heat index, meaning as the air temperature and relative humidity increase (decrease), the heat index increases (decreases).
