The following table lists median house values (in $) for the 50 states as reported by the U.S. Census Bureau in 2010. Construct the frequency distribution for the median house values. Use six intervals with widths of 0 < x 100,000, 100,000 < x 200,000, etc.

a-2. Which interval had the highest frequency?

multiple choice 1

• 0 < x 100,000
• 100,000 < x 200,000
• 200,000 < x 300,000
• 300,000 < x 400,000
• 400,000 < x 500,000
• 500,000 < x 600,000

a-3. How many of the states had median house values of $300,000 or less?

b. Construct the histogram. Is the distribution symmetric? If not, is it positively or negatively skewed?

multiple choice 2

• The distribution is relatively symmetic.
• The distribution is positively skewed.
• The distribution is negatively skewed.
• Symmetry or skewness cannot be determined with the available information.
