Interactive practice questions

State whether the scores in each histogram are positively skewed, negatively skewed or symmetrical (approximately).

a
ScoreFrequency510891011121314151617
A histogram that represents the distribution of scores. The x-axis enumerates discrete scores as individual points, while the y-axis corresponds to the frequency of each score interval. Each bar on the histogram corresponds to one of these distinct scores, with the bar's height reflecting the count or frequency of occurrences for that particular score. Most of the scores are relatively high.

Positively skewed

A

Symmetrical

B

Negatively skewed

C
b
ScoreFrequency510891011121314151617
A histogram that represents the distribution of scores. The x-axis enumerates discrete scores as individual points, while the y-axis corresponds to the frequency of each score interval. Each bar on the histogram corresponds to one of these distinct scores, with the bar's height reflecting the count or frequency of occurrences for that particular score. Approximately, as the score goes higher, the frequency goes lower.

A histogram that represents the distribution of scores. The x-axis enumerates discrete scores as individual points, while the y-axis corresponds to the frequency of each score interval. Each bar on the histogram corresponds to one of these distinct scores, with the bar's height reflecting the count or frequency of occurrences for that particular score. The scores have its peak approximately in the middle.
