Expected Value of Distribution on Histogram: T/F

[Calculator14]

Homework Statement

4: (T/F) The expected value of a distribution always occurs at the center of the tallest bar on the histogram.

Homework Equations

(no equation necessary for it is T/F)

The Attempt at a Solution

I believe this is false for the expected value can be definite or indefinite.

If you believe it is false, why don't you make a simple histogram that illustrates that it isn't true? That would settle it and you wouldn't be guessing.

Yup, just make up a histogram and test it.
Easy as pie in Matlab, or even just by hand.

-> The thing to do is calculate the mean value of the histogram, and check if that is in the "highest bar".
