Respuesta :

b it would be negative

Answer:

Option: B is the correct answer.

B.The distribution would exhibit a negative skew.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a distribution is said to be negatively skewed or skewed to the left if the scores of the distribution falls mainly to the right of the graph and less to the left i.e. the lower scores are very few as compared to the high scores.

Here we are given that the three students who scored below 140 were dropped that means the some of the low scores are now dropped from the graph.

Hence, the distribution would exhibit a negative skew.
