A. exactly 0.50
B. between 0.25 and 0.60 if the distribution is symmetric and unimodal
C. less than 0.50 if the distribution is skewed to the left
D. more than 0.50 if the distribution is skewed to the right

Answer:

A. exactly 0.50

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a statement. We are asked to choose the correct option about given statement.

We know that every histogram has 5 points summary.

1st point is known as minimum point, 2nd point is first quartile, 3rd point is median, 4th point is upper quartile and 5th point is maximum point.

In a normal distribution 25% of the data points are to the left 1st quartile, 50% of the data points are to the left of median and 75% of the data points are to the left 2nd quartile.

[tex]50\%=\frac{50}{100}=0.50[/tex]

Therefore, exactly 0.50 of the total area which must be to the left of the median.
