Question

identify the answer choice that best describes the shape of the distribution.
answer attempt 1 out of 3
skewed to the right
skewed to the left
symmetric
uniform

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Distribution Shapes

• Skewed right: Tail on right (higher values).
• Skewed left: Tail on left (lower values).
• Symmetric: Mirrors around center.
• Uniform: All bars similar height.

Step2: Analyze the Histogram

The bars' heights are relatively balanced around the middle (e.g., center bar ~20, others ~18 - 20). No long tail on left/right, and not all bars equal (so not uniform). The distribution mirrors around the center, so symmetric.

Answer:

Symmetric
