Describing the Distribution of Data: Analyzing the Shape of a Graph

What is a common mistake students make when learning about data description?

• Focusing too much on the mode

• Concentrating only on the range

• Ignoring the mean and median

• Overlooking other ways to describe data

What does a bell curve in a graph typically indicate?

• Data points are evenly distributed

• Most data points are at the extremes

• Data points are clustered at one end

• Most data points are in the middle

How can you identify a right-skewed graph?

• The tail is on the left side

• The tail is on the right side

• Data points are evenly spread

• There are multiple peaks

What distinguishes a peak from a cluster in a graph?

• A peak is surrounded by gaps

• A peak gradually rises and falls

• A cluster has a gradual slope

• A cluster is a small bell curve

What does uniform distribution in a graph imply?

• Data points are skewed

• Data points are evenly distributed

• Data points form a bell curve

• Data points are clustered
