Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Recall mean - median relationship in skewed data

In a right - skewed histogram, mean > median. In a left - skewed histogram, mean < median. In a symmetric histogram, mean ≈ median. Analyze the given histogram's skewness.

Step2: Check each option

Check the relationship between the given mean and median values in each option against the skewness of the histogram (if applicable) and also consider the general range of values that seem reasonable from the histogram's distribution. Calculate the mid - points of the intervals in the histogram, multiply by frequencies, sum them up and divide by the total frequency to estimate the mean (if needed). For median, find the middle value or the average of two middle values based on the cumulative frequency.

Answer:

Without the actual values from the histogram (mid - points of intervals, frequencies), we can't calculate precisely. But if we assume a somewhat symmetric distribution (since no clear skewness is extremely evident just from the look), we can eliminate options where the mean and median values have a large difference. Among the options, if we assume the data is not highly skewed, a reasonable answer could be: Mean is 3.3 and median is 3.6 as the values are close to each other which is typical for a non - highly skewed distribution. So the answer is: Mean is 3.3 and median is 3.6.
