One study stated the research hypothesis, “Violence behavior in children may be reduced by teaching them conflict resolution skills” (DuRant et al., 1996). The variable “violence behavior” was measured by the number of fights in which each student was involved. Below is a frequency distribution table for the number of fights for 13 students in this study.

a. Calculate the mode, median, and the mean for these data.

b. Comparing the mode, median, and the mean, how would you describe the shape of the distribution?
