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!
