Question

lesson 4: the shape of distribution
cool down: distribution types
describe each of these distributions. if more than one term applies, include all the terms that describe each distribution. where possible, use the terms:

• symmetric distribution
• skewed distribution
• bell - shaped distribution
• uniform distribution
• bimodal distribution

1.
2.
3.
4.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the first distribution

The data is symmetric around the value 6. It has a single - peak at 6 and tapers off on both sides. So it is a symmetric and bell - shaped distribution.

Step2: Analyze the second distribution

The data is skewed to the right as the tail on the right side is longer. There is no clear symmetry or bell - shape.

Step3: Analyze the third distribution

There are two peaks (at 1 and 10), so it is a bimodal distribution. It is not symmetric or bell - shaped.

Step4: Analyze the fourth distribution

The data points are evenly spread out across the values, so it is a uniform distribution.

Answer:

1. Symmetric distribution, bell - shaped distribution
2. Skewed distribution
3. Bimodal distribution
4. Uniform distribution
