Question

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

Explanation:

Step1: Understand bimodal

A bimodal histogram has two distinct peaks. Histogram C has two high - value bars (one around 3 and one around 9), so it is bimodal.

Step2: Understand symmetric

A symmetric histogram has a mirror - like appearance on either side of the center. Histogram B has a more balanced look around its center compared to the others.

Step3: Understand bell - shaped

A bell - shaped histogram is symmetric and has a single peak in the middle. Histogram B is closer to this as it has a single central peak and is more symmetric than the others.

Step4: Understand skewed to the left

A histogram skewed to the left has a longer tail on the left. Histogram A has a longer tail on the left side (lower values have smaller frequencies but the increase is more gradual on the left compared to the right - side drop).

Answer:

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