Fill in: “larger than”, “smaller than” or “equal to”: When a variable is distributed positively skewed the mean is …. the median.
When a variable is distributed positively skewed the mean is larger than the median. When a variable is positively skewed the tail of the distribution is at the right side. The mean, and not the median is influenced by these large numbers and is therefore larger than the median.
