Explanation of Solution

Given:

  The Practice of Statistics for AP - 4th Edition, Chapter 10, Problem 21PT3

The above figure shows that the distribution is right skewed because most of the values are lying on the right side. For the right skewed distribution, mean > median. The median is lying at the highest bar because of the center of 160 pounds. And, mean is more than the median it is expected to fall to the right of median. Thus, the interval for the mean is (180, 220).

Hence, the correct option is (a).
