Question

a sample of employees at a large company is asked the following question: if you could work remotely one day each week, which day would you choose? the percentage of employees who chose each day is displayed in the graph below. which one of the following statements about this graph is correct? this distribution should be described as being skewed to the left because the tallest bars are located on the far - right portion of the x - axis. friday was chosen by more employees than saturday. sunday and monday together account for nearly half of the responses. a histogram would be more appropriate than a bar graph for purposes of displaying this kind of data. none of the above statements are correct.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze skewness statement

The distribution is not skewed left as described. Skewness is about the tail - direction. Here, the taller bars on right don't mean left - skewness.

Step2: Check Friday vs Saturday

From the graph, the bar for Saturday is taller than the bar for Friday, so more employees chose Saturday than Friday.

Step3: Examine Sunday and Monday total

Sunday and Monday bars are relatively short. Their combined height is far from half of the total height of all bars.

Step4: Evaluate graph type

This is categorical data (days of the week), so a bar - graph is appropriate, not a histogram (which is for continuous data).

Answer:

None of the above statements are correct.
