Complete the sentences.
The distribution of screen times is best described as . So, the are both appropriate measures of center

Answer 1

To complete the sentences, we need to describe the distribution of screen times based on the characteristics of the data shown in the line plot. However, since I cannot see the actual line plot, I will provide you with possible completions based on common distributions.

1. If the distribution is symmetric and bell-shaped, you might say:
- "The distribution of screen times is best described as **symmetric**. So, the **mean and median** are both appropriate measures of center."

2. If the distribution is skewed to the right (with more students having lower screen times):
- "The distribution of screen times is best described as **skewed to the right**. So, the **median and mode** are both appropriate measures of center."

3. If the distribution is skewed to the left:
- "The distribution of screen times is best described as **skewed to the left**. So, the **median and mode** are both appropriate measures of center."

4. If there are multiple peaks (bimodal or multimodal):
- "The distribution of screen times is best described as **bimodal**. So, the **modes** are the most appropriate measures of center."

Choose the description that best fits the data shown in the line plot and fill in the blanks accordingly!
