The mean is larger than the median in a positively skewed distribution
so the median is less than the mean in a positively skewed distribution
118
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of cockles be c and that of winkles be w.
From the first relation,
w = 2c ..........(I)
From the second relation, 6 winkles are accidentally split.
This in equation form means the following:
c/w- 6 = 3/5
By cross multiplication,
5c = 3(w - 6)...........(ii)
We know w = 2c , let’s substitute this into the second equation.
5c = 3(2c - 6)
5c = 6c - 18
Collecting like times, c = 18
And w = 2c = 2(18) = 36
Hence, there were initially 18 cockles and 36 winkles
