which statement best discribes the shape of the graph?
○ the graph is skewed left.
○ the graph is skewed right.
○ the graph is nearly symmetrical.
○ the graph is perfectly symmetrical.

Explanation:

Skewed left means most data clusters on the right, with a tail to the left. Here, the dot plot has more dots on the higher values (right side) and fewer on the lower values (left side), creating a leftward tail. Symmetrical would mean even distribution on both sides of a center, which this does not have.

Answer:

The graph is skewed left.
