Question

which statement best compares the shapes of the distributions of the number of bite - sized snacks for the two classes? the distribution for class 1 and the distribution for class 2 both appear to be fairly symmetric. the distribution for class 1 appears to be skewed left and the distribution for class 2 appears to be symmetric. the distribution for class 1 appears to be skewed right and the distribution for class 2 appears to be symmetric. the distribution for class 1 appears to be skewed right and the distribution for class 2 appears to be slightly skewed left.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze Class 1's Distribution

Class 1's data has a tail extending to the right. In a skewed - right distribution, the tail is on the right side.

Step2: Analyze Class 2's Distribution

Class 2's data is evenly spread around the center. A symmetric distribution has the data evenly distributed on both sides of the center.

Answer:

The distribution for class 1 appears to be skewed right and the distribution for class 2 appears to be symmetric.
