Question

points scored per game
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.

Explanation:

To determine how to adjust the graph to show skew, we analyze the x - axis intervals. The current x - axis has intervals 0 - 4, 5 - 9, 10 - 14, and then 20 - 24. There is a gap between 14 and 20. For a histogram (or bar graph showing data distribution) to properly show skew, the x - axis intervals should be continuous and consistent (i.e., each interval should have the same width and there should be no gaps between consecutive intervals).

• Option 1: Changing the x - axis intervals to be continuous and consistent fixes the gap (between 14 and 20) and makes the intervals uniform, which is necessary to accurately show the distribution and its skew.
• Option 2: Changing the y - axis interval to show only 3 and 5 does not address the issue of the x - axis intervals which is crucial for showing skew. The y - axis is about the number of games, and adjusting it in this way won't help with showing the skew of the data (which is related to the x - axis variable, number of points).
• Option 3: Increasing the scale to show 25 - 29 adds another interval but doesn't fix the existing gap between 14 and 20. The main problem is the inconsistent and non - continuous intervals on the x - axis, not adding more intervals at the end.
• The last option (partially visible) also does not address the x - axis interval issue.

Answer:

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