Question

determine whether the approximate shape of the distribution in the histogram shown is symmetric, uniform, skewed left, skewed right, or none of these. justify your answer. choose the correct answer below. a. the shape of the distribution is skewed left because the bars have a tail to the left. b. the shape of the distribution is symmetric, but not uniform, because a vertical line can be drawn down the middle, creating two halves that look approximately the same. c. the shape of the distribution is skewed right because the bars have a tail to the right. d. the shape of the distribution is uniform because the bars are approximately the same height. e. the shape of the distribution is none of these because the bars do not show any of these general trends.

Explanation:

Step1: Observe the histogram

The bars have a tail to the right.

Step2: Recall distribution - shape definitions

A distribution with a tail to the right is right - skewed.

Answer:

C. The shape of the distribution is skewed right because the bars have a tail to the right.
