Question

(a) which histogram is the closest to being bell - shaped?
histogram a histogram b histogram c
(b) which histogram is best described as bimodal?
histogram a histogram b histogram c
(c) which histogram is the closest to being symmetric?
histogram a histogram b histogram c
(d) which histogram is skewed to the right the most?
histogram a histogram b histogram c

Explanation:

• Bell - shaped: A bell - shaped histogram has a single peak in the middle and tapers off symmetrically on both sides. Histogram A has a single central peak and is more symmetric compared to the others.
• Bimodal: A bimodal histogram has two distinct peaks. Histogram C has two relatively high bars (at the left - hand side and in the middle - right), indicating two modes.
• Symmetric: A symmetric histogram has a mirror - like image on either side of the center. Histogram A is more symmetric than B and C.
• Skewed to the right: A right - skewed histogram has a longer tail on the right side. Histogram B has a longer tail on the right compared to A and C.

Answer:

(a) Histogram A
(b) Histogram C
(c) Histogram A
(d) Histogram B
