Answer

\(\boxed{\text{The data has positive skew}}\)

Steps

Step 1 :Given data set is \{2, 3, 2, 2, 0, 5, 2, 1, 1, 3\}

Step 2 :Calculate the mean of the data set: \(\frac{2+3+2+2+0+5+2+1+1+3}{10} = 2.1\)

Step 3 :Calculate the median of the data set: 2.0

Step 4 :Compare the mean and median: since the mean (2.1) is greater than the median (2.0), the data set is positively skewed

Step 5 :\(\boxed{\text{The data has positive skew}}\)
