which statement best describes the shape of the graph?
the graph is skewed right.
the graph is nearly symmetrical.
the graph is skewed left.
the graph is perfectly symmetrical.

Explanation:

A skewed left graph has a longer tail on the left side. Observing the dot plot, there are fewer data points (dots) on the left (lower values: 3,4) and the bulk of data is shifted to the right, creating a leftward tail. This matches the definition of a left-skewed distribution, and it is not perfectly or nearly symmetrical, nor skewed right.

Answer:

The graph is skewed left.
