Question

the dot plot shows the number of text messages mr. garcia sent each day so far this month. text messages per day which statement best describes the shape of the graph? the graph is skewed left. the graph is skewed right. the graph is nearly symmetrical. the graph is perfectly symmetrical.

Explanation:

Examine the distribution of dots on the dot - plot. If the left and right sides of the plot are approximately mirror - images of each other, it is symmetrical. Here, the distribution of dots is not perfectly mirrored but is close to being so. A perfectly symmetrical graph would have an exact mirror - image on both sides. A skewed left graph has a long tail on the left, and a skewed right graph has a long tail on the right. This graph does not have such long tails.

Answer:

The graph is nearly symmetrical.
