Expert Solution
Step 1

Statement 1 : False 

Odds in favor of A  = Favorable outcomesUnfavorable outcomes

Odds in against A  = Unfavorable outcomesFavorable outcomes

Statement 2 : True.  

For positive skewed distribution : Mode < median < mean 
For symmetric distribution : Mode = mean = Median  
For negative skewed distribution : Mode > median > mean
