Question

points scored per game
number of points
how can the graph be adjusted to show the skew?
the intervals on the x - axis can be changed to be continuous and consistent.
the interval on the y - axis can be changed to show only the relevant numbers, 3 and 5.
the scale on the x - axis can be increased to show the interval 25 - 29.
the scale on the y - axis can be decreased to show only the numbers 0 - 5.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the x - axis intervals

The current x - axis intervals are \(0 - 4\), \(5 - 9\), \(10 - 14\), \(20 - 24\). There is a gap between \(14\) and \(20\). For a proper skewness analysis (which depends on a continuous and consistent data spread representation), the intervals on the x - axis should be continuous and consistent.

Step2: Analyze other options

• The y - axis represents the number of games. Changing it to show only \(3\) and \(5\) (or \(0 - 5\)) does not affect the skewness (which is related to the data spread on the variable of interest - points scored per game, represented on the x - axis).
• Increasing the x - axis scale to show \(25 - 29\) does not fix the existing gap between \(14\) and \(20\).

Answer:

The intervals on the x - axis can be changed to be continuous and consistent.
