Question

the dot - plot shows the batting averages of some baseball players. select all the terms that describe the shape of the distribution. a. bell - shaped b. bimodal c. skewed d. symmetric e. uniform (from unit 1, lesson 4.)

Explanation:

A bell - shaped distribution is symmetric and has one mode. A bimodal distribution has two modes. A symmetric distribution is evenly balanced on either side of the center. A skewed distribution is not symmetric and has a tail on one side. A uniform distribution has all data values occurring with equal frequency. Looking at the dot - plot, we can see it is symmetric as the data is evenly spread around the center value and it is bell - shaped as it has a single peak in the middle and tapers off on both sides.

Answer:

A. Bell - shaped, D. Symmetric
