Answer 2

ANSWER

B- The majority of the data is to the right of the mean

EXPLANATION

The data that is negatively skewed has its mean less than the median and the mode.


The arrangement for the measures of central tendency for a data set that is negatively skewed is

$mean \: < \: median \: < mode$


Since the mode is to the right, it means majority of the the data is to the left of the mean.

The correct answer is B
