Question

the occupancy rate of a motel is the percentage of rooms that are occupied on a particular night. the histogram shown summarizes the occupancy rates for a random sample of 100 nights for a motel. based on the histogram, which of the following best describes the shape of the distribution of occupancy rates? a skewed to the left, b skewed to the right, c symmetric, d bimodal, e uniform

Explanation:

To determine the distribution shape, we analyze the histogram. A left - skewed (negatively skewed) distribution has a longer tail on the left. Here, the lower occupancy rates (left side of the histogram) have a longer tail compared to the right side. So the distribution is skewed to the left.

Answer:

A. Skewed to the left
