Question

try again (b): your answer is incorrect. here are three histograms. histogram a graph, histogram b graph, histogram c graph. (a) which histogram is the closest to being bell - shaped? ○ histogram a ◉ histogram b ○ histogram c (b) which histogram is best described as bimodal? ○ histogram a ○ histogram b ◉ histogram c (c) which histogram is the closest to being symmetric? ○ histogram a ◉ histogram b ○ histogram c (d) which histogram is skewed to the right the most? ◉ histogram a ○ histogram b ○ histogram c

Explanation:

(a)

A bell - shaped histogram has a single peak and tapers off symmetrically on both sides. Histogram B has a single peak and the bars on either side of the peak show a pattern that is closer to the bell - shaped (normal distribution) curve compared to Histogram A (which has multiple peaks and is skewed) and Histogram C (which is bimodal).

A bimodal histogram has two distinct peaks. Histogram C has two clear peaks in its bar graph, while Histogram A has multiple peaks but not two distinct main peaks and Histogram B has a single peak.

A symmetric histogram has a mirror - like appearance around a central axis. Histogram B has a shape where the left and right sides of the peak are more balanced and symmetric compared to Histogram A (skewed) and Histogram C (bimodal and not symmetric).

Answer:

B. Histogram B

(b)
