when the tail on the right side of the histogram is longer than the left side, the distribution is said to be ______.

symmetric
skewed right

Explanation:

Identify the distribution shape

Using the Data Distribution Shape knowledge point

• The tail on the right side of a histogram is longer than the left side.
• A longer right tail indicates that the data is stretched out toward larger values.
• This characteristic defines a distribution that is skewed to the right (or positively skewed).

Evaluate the given options

• Symmetric: A symmetric distribution has tails of approximately equal length on both sides.
• Skewed right: This matches the definition of having a longer right tail.

Answer:

• Symmetric
• Skewed right (Correct answer)
