Carefully analyze each histogram and answer the questions that follow. Pay attention to the shape, center, and spread of the data distributions.
1. Which of the following best describes the shape of the distribution shown in Histogram A?
Symmetric and unimodal
Skewed right
Skewed left
Bimodal
2. In Histogram A, the class with the highest frequency is , representing commuters.
3. If the data in a histogram is skewed to the right, the mean is typically than the median.
4. Describe a real-world scenario that would likely produce a histogram with a bimodal distribution. Explain why.
5. A histogram is an appropriate graph for displaying categorical data.
True
False
6. The width of the bars in a histogram always represents the frequency of the data.
True
False
7. Consider two histograms, one with a small range and another with a large range, but both with the same number of data points. How would their appearance differ, and what does this imply about the data's variability?
Match the histogram shape description with its characteristic.
a. Skewed Left
1. Tail extends to the right
b. Skewed Right
2. Mean is approximately equal to median
c. Symmetric
3. Tail extends to the left
