Question

the histogram shows a citys daily high temperatures recorded for four weeks. which phrase describes the shape of the temperature data? daily high temperatures (°f) number of days temperature (°f) symmetrical left - skewed right - skewed normal

Explanation:

1. In a symmetrical distribution, the left - hand side is a mirror image of the right - hand side. In a normal distribution (a special type of symmetrical distribution), the data follows a bell - shaped curve. Here, the data is not bell - shaped.
2. In a left - skewed distribution, the tail of the distribution extends to the left. In a right - skewed distribution, the tail of the distribution extends to the right. Looking at the histogram, the tail of the distribution extends to the left. The lower temperature values have fewer data points and the higher frequency of data is concentrated on the right side of the distribution.

Answer:

left - skewed
