Question

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 Distribution Shapes

• Skewed right: Tail on right (higher values).
• Skewed left: Tail on left (lower values).
• Symmetric: Mirrored around center.
• Uniform: All bars similar height.

Step2: Analyze the Histogram

• The bars are relatively balanced around the center (e.g., 28 - 42 - 56 area has consistent heights, and left/right sides mirror in frequency pattern). No long tail on left/right, and bars aren’t all same height (so not uniform).

Answer:

Symmetric
