Question

calls made to a teen pregnancy hotline over a 13 - day period resulted in the following number of calls per day. 1 3 0 4 3 1 0 4 2 0 0 1 2
make a dotplot. what is the shape of the distribution?
uniform
approximately normal
skewed left
skewed right
not a definite shape

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the data

The data set is \(1,3,0,4,3,1,0,4,2,0,0,1,2\).

Step2: Count frequencies

Value	Frequency
\(1\)	\(3\)
\(2\)	\(2\)
\(3\)	\(2\)
\(4\)	\(2\)

Step3: Check distribution shape

A uniform distribution has all values with approximately equal frequencies. Here, the frequency of \(0\) is higher than others. An approximately normal distribution has a bell - shaped curve (symmetric). A skewed left distribution has a tail on the left (smaller values have lower frequencies). A skewed right distribution has a tail on the right (larger values have lower frequencies). Since the frequencies are not evenly distributed and there is no clear bell - shape, symmetric, or skewed pattern (except for the higher frequency of \(0\) which doesn't fit a standard skewed pattern well), it does not have a definite shape.

Answer:

Not a Definite Shape
