Question

the dot plot below represents some distribution.
identify the answer choice that best describes the shape of the distribution.
answer attempt 1 out of 3
skewed to the right skewed to the left
symmetric uniform

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Skewness Definitions

A right - skewed (positively skewed) distribution has a longer tail on the right side. A left - skewed (negatively skewed) distribution has a longer tail on the left side. A symmetric distribution has data evenly distributed around the center, and a uniform distribution has approximately the same number of data points in each interval.

Step2: Analyze the Dot Plot

Looking at the dot plot, the majority of the data points are on the left (at 30 and 34), and as we move to the right (towards 38, 42, 46, 50), the number of data points decreases, creating a longer tail on the right side.

Answer:

Skewed to the right
