Question

here are three histograms. (a) which histogram is the closest to being uniform? ○ histogram a ○ histogram b ○ histogram c (b) which histogram is the closest to being symmetric? ○ histogram a ○ histogram b ○ histogram c (c) which histogram is best described as unimodal? ○ histogram a ○ histogram b ○ histogram c (d) which histogram is skewed to the right the most? ○ histogram a ○ histogram b ○ histogram c

Explanation:

(a)

A uniform histogram has bars of roughly equal height. Histogram A's bars are most consistent in height compared to B (has low bars at 0,3,4) and C (decreasing trend).

A symmetric histogram has a mirror - like shape around a center. Histogram B's taller bars are centered (around 6 - 8) with left and right patterns mirroring, more so than A (less symmetric) and C (skewed).

A unimodal histogram has one peak. Histogram C has one peak (at 0 - 1) and then decreases, while A has multiple peaks and B has two main peak regions.

Answer:

Histogram A

(b)
