Here is a histogram of the assets (in millions of dollars) of 71 companies.What aspect of this distribution makes it difficult to summarize,or to discuss,the centre and spread? What could be done with these data to make it easier to discuss the distribution?
A) The distribution of assets of the 71 companies is heavily skewed to the right.The vast majority of the companies have assets represented in the first bar of the histogram,0 to 4000 dollars.This makes the discussion of the distribution meaningless.Re-expressing these data using logs or square roots might make the distribution nearly symmetric,and a meaningful discussion of centre and spread might be possible.
B) The distribution of assets of the 71 companies is heavily skewed to the left.The vast majority of the companies have assets represented in the first bar of the histogram,0 to 4 billion dollars.This makes the discussion of the distribution meaningless.Re-expressing these data using logs or square roots might make the distribution nearly symmetric,and a meaningful discussion of centre and spread might be possible.
