A histogram was constructed using the following table. If you were to construct the histogram, what type of shape would it have?
trimodal
linear
symmetric
left skewed
right skewed
| Bin | Lower | Upper | Frequency |
| 1 | -0.5 | 7.5 | 36 |
| 2 | 7.5 | 15.5 | 43 |
| 3 | 15.5 | 23.5 | 17 |
| 4 | 23.5 | 31.5 | 7 |
| 5 | 31.5 | 39.5 | 1 |
| 6 | 39.5 | 47.5 | 3 |
| 7 | 47.5 | 55.5 | 0 |
| 8 | 55.5 | 63.5 | 2 |
Solution
as one can see from the data that majority of data is in first two intervals
so , one get high peaks in first two intervals and then sharp decrease and low peaks in the rest of the intervals
this is a characteristic of left skewed as majority of data is left sided
hence D is the correct choice
