For the given question the curve is positively skewed i.e. the right tail is longer and the mass of the distribution is concentrated on the left of the figure.

Here mean is greater than the median and mode.

∴ In probability distribution with right skew, mean is greater than median and mode.

The following are the two statements relating to the theory of probability. Indicate the statements being correct or incorrect.
Statement I The probability of the joint occurrence of independent events A and B is equal to the probability of event A multiplied by the probability of event B or vice-versa.
Statement II The probability of the joint occurrence of independent event A and dependent event B is equal to the probability of event A multiplied by the conditionalprobability of event B when event A has occurredor vice-versa.
Statement I Exponential probability distribution has the mean = $$\frac{1}{\mu }$$ and variance = $$\frac{1}{{{\mu ^2}}}$$
Statement II The mean, median and mode do not coincide in the normal distribution.
Statement III The binomial distribution is symmetrical for any value of p (probability of success).
