The distribution of weights of African bush elephants is skewed to the right with mean 6.42 tons andstandard deviation 1.07 tons. Let the random variable W represent the weight, in tons, of a randomlyselected elephant. The weight is converted to kilograms using the formula Y= 900W. Which of thefollowing best describes the distribution of Y ? WHAT IS THE CORRECT ANSWER A. Roughly symmetric with mean 5,778 kilograms and standard deviation 1.07 kilograms. B. Roughly symmetric with mean 5,778 kilograms and standard deviation 963 kilograms. C. Skewed to the right with mean 906.42 kilograms and standard deviation 1.07 kilograms. D. Skewed to the right with mean 5,778 kilograms and standard deviation 1.07 kilograms. E. Skewed to the right with mean 5,778 kilograms and standard deviation 963 kilograms.
