To find: the shape of the given histogram as per the given option.
Answer to Problem 34STP
C. Skewed histogram.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given histogram is.
The given options are:
- Symmetric
- Proportional
- Skewed
- Uniform
Concept used:
Symmetric histogram:
If a vertical line can divide the histogram in to two parts that are close to the mirror image, then the histogram is symmetric.
Skewed histogram:
If a histogram has one peaks that is not in the center, then the histogram is skewed. If most of the data are on the right, with a few smaller values showing up on the left side of the histogram, the data are skewed to the left.
Uniform histogram:
A uniform shaped histogram indicates data that is very consistent; the frequency of each class is very similar to that of the others. A data set with a uniform-shaped histogram may be multimodal the having multiple intervals with the maximum frequency.
Calculation:
From the above histogram, it is clear seen when a majority of the data is either on the left or the right side the distribution is skewed, and as you can see most of the data is on the left of the histogram.
Thus, the histogram is skewed histogram.
Hence the correct option is (C).
