Problem 2.15 2.15 Distributions and appropriate statistics, Part I. For each of the following, state whether you expect the distribution to be symmetric, right skewed, or left skewed. Also specify whether the mean or median would best represent a typical observation in the data, and whether the variability of observations would be best represented using the standard deviation or IQR. Explain your reasoning. The variable "Distance to work, i.e. number of miles between work and home" is most likely to have a distribution that is symmetric right skewed. left skewed. 34 33 32 1 point The typical commute distance is probably best represented by O mean median 1 point The variability or spread of commute distances is best represented by.
