Question

1. the distribution is skewed left since most of the data is on the left side of the distribution.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Skewness Definition

Skewness: Left - skewed (negative skew) has tail on left, right - skewed (positive skew) has tail on right. Data concentration: Left - skewed has most data on right (tail left), right - skewed has most data on left (tail right).

Step2: Analyze the Histogram

In the given histogram, the tall bars (most data) are on the left, and the tail (shorter bars) extends to the right. So the distribution should be skewed right, not left. The original statement is incorrect.

Answer:

The statement is incorrect. The distribution is skewed right because most of the data is on the left - hand side of the distribution and the tail extends to the right.
