Where would you have to put the fulcrum in order for this distribution to balance?
8
.5

Use the simulation to create a similarly-shaped distribution.
This is a symmetric distribution so it would balance half way between 2 and 14 (at 8).
Approximately where would you have to put the fulcrum in order for this distribution to balance?
6.16
1.2
Create a similar distribution with the simulation and see where it balances.

The exact point is 6.16 but anything within 1.2 of that value is considered correct.
For this distribution, what statistics would provide the location of the fulcrum at which the distribution would be in balance?
true
Mean
true
Median
true
Mode

The mean, median and mode are all the same for this distribution and would balance the distribution.
