Question

6 from unit 1, lesson 4 the box plot summarizes the test scores for 100 students: test scores 55 60 65 70 75 80 85 90 95 100 which term best describes the shape of the distribution? a bell - shaped b. uniform c. skewed d. symmetric

Explanation:

In a box - plot, if the median is not in the center of the box and the whiskers are of unequal lengths, the distribution is skewed. Here, the box and whiskers are not symmetrically arranged around the median, indicating a skewed distribution. A bell - shaped distribution would have a more symmetric mound - like shape (not shown here), a uniform distribution would have data evenly spread across the range (not indicated), and a symmetric distribution would have the median in the middle of the box and equal - length whiskers (not the case).

Answer:

C. skewed
