Q8. If a distribution is positively skewed:

A)   the mode is greater than the median.

B)   the mode is greater than the mean.

C)   the mean is greater than the median.

Correct answer is C)

For a positively skewed distribution, the mode is less than the median, which is less than the mean (the mean is greatest). Remember that investors are attracted to positive skewness because the mean return is greater than the median return.

In a positively skewed distribution, the mode is less than the median, which is less than the mean.
