Positively Skewed Distribution: Which Measure is Largest? (Mean, Median, Mode)

The correct answer is (c) mean.

In a positively skewed distribution with a single mode, the mean is typically the largest value. This is because the tail of the distribution extends further to the right, pulling the mean towards the higher values. The median, being the middle value, will fall somewhere between the mode and the mean. The mode, being the most frequent value, will usually be the smallest of the three.
