This question is incomplete and below are the two questions

1. What is the shape of the distribution for the data described in this study?

A. bimodal distribution

B. positively skewed distribution

C. normal distribution

D. negatively skewed distribution

2. What measure of central tendency is most appropriate for describing these data and why?

The answer for the first question is (B) positively skewed distribution

The shape of this distribution is positively skewed. A positively skewed distribution occurs if there are very few higher scores. In most cases, the mean is always greater than the median in a positively skewed distribution and greater than the mode as well.

The answer for the second question is Median. The most appropriate and dutiable measure of central tendency is the Median. In this case, the level of the college students associated with qualitative data median is most suitable. Central tendency measures the mean, median, and mode used to describe a data set. The median separates the top 50% of the distribution.
