The shape of the distribution, is symmetric, is the best description of statistics about scores.
<h3 /><h3>What is standard deviation ?</h3>The standard deviation is the positive square root of the variance of this data set. Variance of a data set is the sum of squared differences of the data values from its mean to the total count of data values.
The given data in the problem is;
Mean = 78%
Standard deviation = 4%
Min = 64
Median = 78
Q1 = 72
Q3 = 84
Max = 99
The condition for the symmetric distribution is found as;
From the data we have;
So that , .
Hence, the condition of symmetry is followed.
