Measure of central tendency help?I am wondering about the position of the central tendency of mean, median and mode for a symmetric distribution...

The measures of central tendency
are...

mean - the average of
the numbers in the data

median
- the middle number when the data is ordered from least to
greatest

mode - the number
that occurs the most often in a set of data

Data can have
symmetric distribution, a positively skewed distribution, or a negatively
skewed distribution.

symmetric distribution
- the mean, median, and mode are
equal

positively skewed
distribution - the mean is greater than the median, which is greater than
the mode

negatively skewed
distribution - the mean is less than the median, which is less than the
mode

In summary...

* in a
symmetric distribution, the mode is in the center

* in a
positively skewed distribution, the mode is on the left

*
in a negatively skewed distribution, the mode is on the right
