Question

average yearly precipitation 50 states
the graphs shape is best described as
which of the following statements would

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the graph

A symmetric graph has a mirror - like shape around a central axis. A skewed graph has a tail on one side. A graph with peaks and valleys has multiple high and low points. A constant graph has bars of equal height.
Looking at the "Average Yearly Precipitation" bar graph:

• The bar heights are not equal (so not constant).
• There is no clear symmetry (so not symmetric).
• There are no multiple peaks and valleys (so not peaks and valleys).
• The graph has a tail on the right - hand side (the bar for \(60 - 69.9\) is very short compared to the main cluster of bars), which is characteristic of a skewed graph.

Answer:

skewed
