Question

Describe the shape of the data distribution.

Answer 1

Answer:

A.) negatively skewed

B.) Symmetric

C.) Positively skewed

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape of a distribution can be described in terms of the tail and peak of the distribution as Symmetric, left tailed or right tailed.

In the first graph; distribution is left tailed as we have a longer tail to the left Than to the right side of the distribution and the peak Hence, slightly shifting to the right.

The second graph on the other hand sees the peak being centered, at the centre of the distribution and the tails being even. Hence, we have a Symmetric or normal distribution.

The third is the opposite of the first with the tail being to the right and peak slightly shifting to the left to give a positive skew or right tailed distribution.
