# of children x	Frequencies f	f*x	cumulative frequency
0	472	0	472

7	33	231	1580
8	20	160	1600
Total	1,600	3589

4. Please find the mean for numbers of children in this distribution (20 pts).

=2.2431

5.Please find the median for this distribution (10 pts).

Total n=1600,therefore 1600/2 = 800

Median is average of 800 and 801th observation.

From cumulative frequency, 800 and 801th observations are 2.

Median =2

6.Please find the mode for this distribution (5 pts).

Mode most frequently occurred= 0

Mode=0

7. Is this distribution negatively skewed, symmetrical, or positively skewed (5 pts)?

Mean =2.24, median =2 mode =0

Mean > median >mode.

Since, Mean > median >mode, this distribution is positively skewed.
