(a) Transaction accounts, which include checking, savings, and money market accounts, are the most commonly held type of financial asset. The mean value of transaction accounts per household was $270,000, and the median value was $94,500. Which statement explains the differences between the two measures of center? The distribution of the value of transaction accounts is a uniform distribution. The distribution of the value of transaction accounts is a right-skewed distribution. The distribution of the value of transaction accounts is an approximately symmetrical distribution. O The distribution of the value of transaction accounts is a left-skewed distribution. (b) The mean value of retirement accounts per household, which includes Individual Retirement Account (IRA) balances
Inverse Normal Distribution
The method used for finding the corresponding z-critical value in a normal distribution using the known probability is said to be an inverse normal distribution. The inverse normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution with a family of two parameters.
Mean, Median, Mode
It is a descriptive summary of a data set. It can be defined by using some of the measures. The central tendencies do not provide information regarding individual data from the dataset. However, they give a summary of the data set. The central tendency or measure of central tendency is a central or typical value for a probability distribution.
Z-Scores
A z-score is a unit of measurement used in statistics to describe the position of a raw score in terms of its distance from the mean, measured with reference to standard deviation from the mean. Z-scores are useful in statistics because they allow comparison between two scores that belong to different normal distributions.
![bution.
The distribution of the value of transaction accounts is an approximately symmetrical distribution.
O The distribution of the value of transaction accounts is a left-skewed distribution.
(b) The mean value of retirement accounts per household, which includes Individual Retirement Account (IRA) balances
and certain employer-sponsored accounts, was $94,500, but the median value was $0. What does a median of $0 say about
the percentage of households with retirement accounts?
O At least 75% of households have a retirement account.
O There is not enough information to make any reliable estimate on the percentage of households with retirement
аccounts.
O Approximately 50% of households have a retirement account.
O At least 50% of households do not have a retirement account.

liabilities through the Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF). Some results from the 2013 survey are provided.
(a) Transaction accounts, which include checking, savings, and money market accounts, are the most commonly held type

$94,500. Which statement explains the differences between the two measures of center?
O The distribution of the value of transaction accounts is a uniform distribution.
O The distribution of the value of transaction accounts is a right-skewed distribution.
O The distribution of the value of transaction accounts is an approximately symmetrical distribution.
O The distribution of the value of transaction accounts is a left-skewed distribution.
(b) The mean value of retirement accounts per household, which includes Individual Retirement Account (IRA) balances
