does the distribution of the deviations have the same shape as the distribution of the heights?
yes
no

Explanation:

Deviations from a mean are calculated by subtracting the mean from each data point, which essentially shifts the original distribution (heights) so its center is at 0, but does not change the shape of the distribution. The histogram of deviations will have the same spread and shape as the original height distribution, just a different center.

Answer:

Yes
