Type of Data arrangement

• Symmetrical

• Hairline

• Skewed Right

• Skewed Left

Answer explanation

A skewed right distribution has a longer tail on the right side, indicating that most data points are concentrated on the left with fewer high values. This matches the correct answer, Skewed Right.

What is the shape of the distribution?

• Skewed Left 

• Skewed Right

• Symmetric

• Bimodal

Answer explanation

The distribution is skewed left, meaning it has a longer tail on the left side. This indicates that most data points are concentrated on the right, with fewer lower values pulling the mean down.

What is the shape of the distribution?
