Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. For questions involving diagrams, analyze the visual representation of the data distribution.
1. A distribution where the left side is a mirror image of the right side is called:
Skewed right
Skewed left
Symmetric
Uniform
2. In a distribution skewed to the right, the tail points towards the:
Left
Right
Center
Upwards
3. A distribution with a single peak is called .
4. If all values in a dataset occur with roughly the same frequency, the distribution is said to be .
5. Describe the characteristics of a bimodal distribution.
6. Observe the histogram below. What shape does this distribution appear to have? Explain your reasoning.
7. A distribution that is skewed to the left has its mean to the right of its median.
True
False
8. A uniform distribution has a clear peak at its center.
True
False
Match each distribution shape with its description.
9. Symmetric Distribution
a. Data clustered on the right, tail extending to the left.
10. Skewed Right Distribution
b. Data clustered on the left, tail extending to the right.
11. Skewed Left Distribution
c. Data is evenly distributed across all values.
