21. The most common graph in this class has been the normal distribution, which is symmetric. An example of a statistic that is normally distributed is “heights of adult men." Because it's symmetric, the mean, median, and mode for it are all the same. a) Give an example of a data set that is not symmetric, but is skewed either to the left or to the right (your choice). Hint: if you're drawing a blank, look at an old worksheet for some examples. b) Sketch this skewed graph, and roughly indicate the locations of the mean, median, and mode.
