Question

(a) which histogram is the closest to being bell - shaped?
histogram a histogram b histogram c
(b) which histogram is best described as bimodal?
histogram a histogram b histogram c
(c) which histogram is skewed to the left the most?
histogram a histogram b histogram c
(d) which histogram is the closest to being symmetric?
histogram a histogram b histogram c

Explanation:

• (a) A bell - shaped histogram has a single peak and is symmetric around the center. Histogram B has a single central peak and is more symmetric compared to the others.
• (b) A bimodal histogram has two distinct peaks. Histogram A has two separate high - frequency regions (peaks).
• (c) A left - skewed histogram has a longer tail on the left. Histogram C has a longer tail on the left side.
• (d) A symmetric histogram has a mirror - like appearance on either side of the center. Histogram B is the closest to having this property.

Answer:

(a) Histogram B
(b) Histogram A
(c) Histogram C
(d) Histogram B
