Explanation:

A skewed histogram has a longer tail on one side. A symmetrical histogram has a balanced shape. Looking at the histogram, the bars on the left (0 - 1 and 1.01 - 2) and the right (4.01 - 5 and 5.01 - 6) are taller. The middle bars (2.01 - 3 and 3.01 - 4) are shorter. This means the data is skewed. The taller bars (left and right) represent monthly rainfall amounts less than 2.01 or greater than 4 inches.

Answer:

The data is skewed, showing that the majority of the monthly rainfall amounts was less than 2.01 or greater than 4 inches.
