Question

Insect Weights Consider a dataset giving the adult weight of species of insects. Most species of insects weigh less than 5 grams, but there are a few species that weigh a great deal, including the largest insect known: the rare and endangered Giant Weta from New Zealand, which can weigh as much as 71 grams. Is the shape of the distribution symmetric, skewed to the right, or skewed to the left

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

71 grams would definitely be an outlier on the high side, whereas "most" species would weigh much less.  Thus, the graph of this distribution of weights would be skewed towards the lower side, that is, to the left.
