Question

determine the distribution of the data pictured below
1 2 3 4 5
data
bell - shaped and symmetric
skewed - right
skewed - left

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze Boxplot Shape

A boxplot's whiskers and box position show skewness. Right skew has longer right whisker/box extension right. Left skew: longer left. Symmetric: balanced.

Step2: Compare Whiskers

Here, right whisker (from 3 - 5) is longer than left (1 - ~2.5). So data is skewed-right (tail on right).

Answer:

Skewed-right
