Question

1. what would be the shape of a distribution of student heights?

a. skewed right
b. approximately normal
c. skewed left
d. bimodal

Explanation:

Student heights are a natural characteristic that typically follows a normal distribution. Most students will have heights around the average, with fewer students having very tall or very short heights. A normal distribution is symmetric around the mean. Skewed distributions (right - skewed has a long tail on the right, left - skewed has a long tail on the left) and bimodal (two peaks) distributions are less likely for a natural characteristic like student heights.

Answer:

b. approximately normal
