Question

Describe the shape of the distribution for the histogram you made in Exercise 3 as symmetric, uniform, skewed left, skewed right, or none of these.

Accepted Answer

Welcome back everyone. In this problem, we want to figure out which of the following options best describes the distribution's shape for the histogram given below. Here we have our distribution and A says it's symmetric B left skewed, C right skewed, and the D says it's uniform. Now, if we want to figure out which of these is the best best description of the distribution's shape, let's look at the shape to identify a few properties. Now, what do you notice here? Well, for starters, notice that if I were to draw something like this on our distribution, OK, then you can tell. That the tail of the distribution, the distribution's tail extends to the left. OK I know Cause that's because we have a few values here towards the left uh side of our distribution. OK. Next, notice here that the majority of the data, OK? So the majority of the data. That's right, that ought. Is concentrated. Mhm. On the right Which you can tell here because there are higher frequencies for our data on the right side of the graph and no, because we have these low value odd layers in our data, that means the mean, in this case is most likely going to be less than the median due to the pull of the low value olayers. Now let's think what type of distribution has a tail that extends to the left, has most of the data concentrated on the right and will most likely have the media the mean less than the median. This would be a negatively or less skewed distribution. And if the histogram shows higher frequency or higher values with a gradual decline towards lower values, that is what makes our skew negative. Therefore, B is the correct answer. Thanks a lot for watching everyone. I hope this video helped.
