Question

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

Explanation:

• (a) A left - skewed histogram has a longer tail on the left. Histogram B has a longer tail on the left compared to A and C.
• (b) A bimodal histogram has two distinct peaks. Histogram C has two distinct peaks.
• (c) A symmetric histogram has a mirror - like shape on either side of the center. Histogram A is more symmetric than B and C.
• (d) A bell - shaped histogram is symmetric and unimodal. Histogram A is more bell - shaped than B and C (since B is skewed and C is bimodal).

Answer:

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