Question

20 22 24 26 28 30 32 34 36
number of points
which of these best describes the shape of the distribution?
choose 1 answer:
a approximately symmetric
b not symmetric

Explanation:

To determine the shape of the distribution, we analyze the number line. The values are evenly spaced around the center (e.g., 20,22,24,...36). A symmetric distribution has data balanced around a central point, and here the spacing and arrangement suggest balance. So the distribution is approximately symmetric.

Answer:

A. Approximately symmetric
