Question

Which description best fits the distribution of the data shown in the histogram?

Answer 1

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Option B: Approximately bell-shaped

Explanation:

Option A: Skewed

A histogram is said to be skewed if most of the larger values falls either on the left or right side.

Clearly, the given histogram is not skewed.

Thus, Option A is not the correct answer.

Option B: Approximately bell-shaped

A graph is said to be bell shaped if a vertical line is drawn at the center which will form a mirror image of the left half of the graph with the right half.

Clearly, the given histogram is approximately bell-shaped.

Thus, Option B is the correct answer.

Option C: Uniform

A graph is said to be uniform if its data is equally spread across the range.

Clearly, the given histogram is not Uniform.

Thus, Option C is not the correct answer.

Option D: Skewed left

A graph is said to be skewed left if the smaller values fall on the left side of the graph.

Clearly, the given histogram is not skewed left.

Thus, Option D is not the correct answer.

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.
