Question

Which answer best describes the shape of this distribution

Answer 1

I think it is C.Skewed right.

Answer 2

Answer:

Option C: skewed right

Step-by-step explanation:

Option A : Skewed left

Definition: A fewer data plots are found to the left of the graph (toward the smaller numeric values).

The "tail" of the graph is pulled toward the lower or negative numbers, or to the left.

Since in the given graph fewer data plots are given on the right and the tail of the graph is also pulled toward the right .So, it is not left skewed .

Since it does not satisfy the definition of skewed left .

So, Option A is wrong.

Option B: bell-shaped

Definition: When graphed, a vertical line drawn at the center will form mirror images with the left half of the graph being the mirror image of the right half .

In the histogram and dot plot, this shape is referred to as being a "bell shape"

Since the given image does not satisfy the definition of bell shaped .

So, Option B is wrong .

Option C: skewed right

Definition: The fewer data plots are found to the right of the graph (toward the larger numeric values). The "tail" of the graph is pulled toward higher positive numbers, or to the right.

Since in the given graph fewer data plots are given on the right and the tail of the graph is also pulled toward the right .So, it is right skewed.

Hence Option C is correct . The given graph is skewed right .

Option D: uniform

Definition: The data is spread equally across the range.

Since the given graph does not satisfy the definition of uniform graph

So, Option D is wrong .
