Question

The histogram to the right shows the times between eruptions of a geyser for a sample of 300 eruptions (which means 299 times between eruptions). Over the histogram, draw a smooth curve that captures its general features Then classify the distribution according to its number of peaks and its symmetry or skewness. Chose the correct answer below. two peaks, left-skewed, wide variation one peak, right-skewed moderate variation three peaks, symmetric, wide variation one peak, symmetric, low variation

Explanation / Answer

B is the answer.

There is only one peak

There is more data to left of peak then to the right. Hence it is right skewed.

There are not many gaps on x axis which indicates moderate variation. There is only one gap between 100-110
