87 ∣ 5|~5∣ 5 = 87,500 cats and dogs euthanized
A) The distribution of the number of cats and dogs that were euthanized is skewed to the right,and has several modes,with gaps in between.One mode is clustered between 87,000 and 90,000 euthanized,a second mode at 84,000,and a third mode with a cluster between 81,000 and 82,000.
B) The distribution of the number of cats and dogs that were euthanized is bimodal.The upper cluster is between 89,000 and 90,000 euthanized,with a centre at around 89,500.The lower cluster is between 81,000 and 82,000 euthanized,with a centre at around 81,200.
C) The distribution of the number of cats and dogs that were euthanized is bimodal.The upper cluster is between 87,000 and 90,000 euthanized,with a centre at around 88,500.The lower cluster is between 81,000 and 83,000 euthanized,with a centre at around 81,200.
D) The distribution of the number of cats and dogs that were euthanized is skewed to the right,with a centre at around 85,500.The number of cats and dogs euthanized each year ranges from 81,200 to 90,200.
E) The distribution of the number of cats and dogs that were euthanized is unimodal,ranging from 81,200 to 90,200 euthanized.The centre of the distribution is at around 85,500.
Euthanized
The act of deliberately ending the life of an animal to relieve it of incurable disease or suffering in a manner that minimizes or eliminates pain and distress.
Bimodal
Describes a distribution or dataset having two distinct modes or peaks.
- Determine the skewness and the modal characteristics of data distributions through visual representation analysis.
- Apply statistical methods to determine basic descriptive statistics, including mean, median, mode, range, standard deviation, and the interquartile range.
