f. The amounts of time spent by students on a difficult quiz (maximum time is less than 50 minutes) Choose the correct answer below. A. The data set is skewed right bedause the mean value would be more than the median value. There would be a few, but large , measurements that would pull the mean away from the median toward the right. B. The data set is symmetric because the mean value would be nearly the same as the median value. The measurements would be centered around a single value. C. The data set is skewed left because the mean value would be less than the median value. There would be a few, but small , measurements that would pull the mean away from the median toward the left.

## Step 1<br />The problem is asking us to determine the nature of the data set based on the given description. The description states that the amounts of time spent by students on a difficult quiz (maximum time is less than 50 minutes) are skewed right. This means that the data points are concentrated on the left side of the distribution, with a few larger values pulling the mean away from the median towards the right.<br /><br />## Step 2<br />Option A correctly describes this situation. It states that the data set is skewed right because the mean value would be more than the median value. This is because there are a few, but large, measurements that pull the mean away from the median toward the right.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />Option B is incorrect because it suggests that the data set is symmetric. This is not the case here, as the data is skewed right.<br /><br />## Step 4<br />Option C is also incorrect because it suggests that the data set is skewed left. This is not the case here, as the data is skewed right.
