Answer 1

Answer:

The Pie Eating Contest would be more skewed.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to answer this, first we need to draw original histograms for both of these two events. Since all of the 20 people from the retirement community is attending one of the events, but we don't know which one, we need to draw new histograms for each of the events (see the attachment).

The only distinction of new histograms is the change in the fourth bin representing the 60-79 age group, since all visitors from retirement community fall into this age group.

A histogram is symmetrical if, when split in half by a vertical line, its left and right half act approximately as an object and its reflection in the mirror.

A histogram is skewed if, when split in half by a vertical line, one of its halves shows much greater values then the other.

So looking at our histograms, if all 20 people went to a Pie Eating Contest, that histogram would become more skewed and if all 20 people went to a Chili Cookoff, that histogram would become more symmetrical, which makes b) the correct answer.
