Instructions Please explain all answers in full sentences. Suppose you are a scheduler for a major airline, analyzing a distribution of flight delays during one day at an airport. The distribution of delay times has the following properties: The mean delay is 10 minutes, the median delay is 6 minutes, the mode of the distribution is 0 minutes, and the maximum delay is 25 minutes. 1. What is the minimum delay in this distribution? 2. Draw a rough sketch of the distribution with clearly labeled axis. Is the distribution skewed (if so, which way) or symmetric? 3. What percentage of flights were delayed less than 6 minutes? 4. What percentage of flights were delayed more than 6 minutes? 5. Discuss the pros and cons of using the mean and the median to present the average flight delay of your airline to the public.
