Gabe is the human resources manager for the Advanced Scientific Research Lab. He has to record the heights (in centimeters) and
weights (in pounds) for each of the scientists in the lab. Height distribution (cm) 178 163 174 186 154 167 167 181 159 165 177 191 158 Weight distribution (lbs) 157 163 190 187 183 173 184 189 193 192 177 173 168 Question 3 of 35 Instructions:Select the correct answer. What is the shape of the height and weight distribution? The height and weight distribution exhibit a negative and a positive skew, respectively. Both the height and weight distribution exhibit a positive skew. Both the height and weight distribution exhibit a negative skew. Both the height and weight distribution are symmetric about the mean. The height and weight distribution exhibit a positive and a negative skew, respectively.\

Answer:
The height and weight distribution exhibit a positive and a negative skew, respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
A graph of each distribution is attached. The height graph is shown first, with the weight graph shown second.
The height graph has the majority of data to the left of the graph, with the "tail" longer at the right; this is a right-skewed, or positively skewed, distribution.
The weight graph has the majority of data to the right of the graph, with the "tail" longer at the left; this is a left-skewed, or negatively skewed, distribution.
