Question 132

A developmental psychologist tests a group of 5-year-old children on a basic language comprehension task. Because the task is far too easy for this age group, the vast majority of children score very high (near the maximum of 50 points), while only a few children obtain very low scores.

Which of the following correctly describes the skewness of this distribution of scores and the corresponding relationship between the measures of central tendency?

A

Negatively skewed, with mean<median<mode\text{mean} < \text{median} < \text{mode}mean<median<mode

B

Negatively skewed, with mean>median>mode\text{mean} > \text{median} > \text{mode}mean>median>mode

C

Positively skewed, with mean<median<mode\text{mean} < \text{median} < \text{mode}mean<median<mode

D

Positively skewed, with mean>median>mode\text{mean} > \text{median} > \text{mode}mean>median>mode
