A distribution is positively skewed Which is the most probab

A distribution is positively skewed. Which is the most probable order, from smallest to largest, for the three measures of central tendency?

Solution

When the distribution is positively skewed (right skewed) then mean is greater than median. And mode is most likley to be smallest in mean, median and mode. So most probable order is

mode, median and mean

Basically median is least affected measure of central tendency when distribution is skewed.
