Question

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

Explanation:

• A symmetrical histogram has a mirror - image quality on either side of the center. A normal distribution is a type of symmetrical distribution with a bell - shaped curve.
• A left - skewed histogram has a longer tail on the left side. A right - skewed histogram has a longer tail on the right side.
• Looking at the given histogram, there is no clear symmetry (not a perfect mirror - image), and it does not follow the bell - shaped curve of a normal distribution.
• There is no indication of a longer tail on the left (left - skewed) or right (right - skewed) side that would dominate the shape in a skewed - distribution sense.

Answer:

symmetrical
