Answer:
Negatively skewed
Step-by-step explanation:
Arrange this data in ascending order:
46, 50, 57, 58, 59, 59, 65, 66, 77, 80
and draw the bar chart as shown in attached diagram.
The data distribution appears to be negatively skewed (or left skewed), because the scores fall toward the higher side of the scale and there are very few low scores. The mean is also to the left of the peak.

Answer:
(a) The probability of more than one death in a corps in a year is 0.1252.
(b) The probability of no deaths in a corps over 7 years is 0.0130.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let <em>X</em> = number of soldiers killed by horse kicks in 1 year.
The random variable .
The probability function of a Poisson distribution is:
(a)
Compute the probability of more than one death in a corps in a year as follows:
P (X > 1) = 1 - P (X ≤ 1)
= 1 - P (X = 0) - P (X = 1)
Thus, the probability of more than one death in a corps in a year is 0.1252.
(b)
The average deaths over 7 year period is:
Compute the probability of no deaths in a corps over 7 years as follows:
Thus, the probability of no deaths in a corps over 7 years is 0.0130.
