Q:

Which description best fits the distribution of the data shown in the histogram?skewed rightuniformapproximately bell-shapedskewed leftHistogram with vertical axis ranging from 0 to 14 labeled Frequency. For 0 to 49, the bar height is 2. For 50 to 99, the bar height is 6. For 100 to 149, the bar height is 12. For 150 to 199, the bar height is 5. For 200 to 249, the bar height is 1.

Accepted Solution

A:
This is an approximately bell-shaped distribution. The highest bar is in the center, with height = 12. Just to its left and right are bars of heights 6 and 5. At the extremes are bars of heights 2 and 1.

If the highest bar was on the left, it would be skewed left (and if it was on the right, skewed right). A uniform distribution would more or less have the same height level over all the bars.
