Question

determine whether the approximate shape of the distribution in the histogram shown is symmetric, uniform, skewed left, skewed right, or none of these. justify your answer. choose the correct answer below. a. the shape of the distribution is approximately uniform because the bars are approximately the same height. b. the shape of the distribution is approximately skewed right because the bars have a tail to the right. c. the shape of the distribution is approximately symmetric because the bars have a tail to the left and to the right. d. the shape of the distribution is approximately skewed left because the bars have a tail to the left. e. the shape of the distribution is none of these because the bars do not show any of these general trends.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze bar - height similarity

In a uniform distribution, the bars in a histogram are approximately the same height. Looking at the given histogram, the bars have roughly equal heights.

Step2: Check for skewness and symmetry

There is no long - tail to the left (left - skewed) or to the right (right - skewed). Also, it is not symmetric as there is no clear mirror - image property.

Answer:

A. The shape of the distribution is approximately uniform because the bars are approximately the same height.
