OA. The modes of the data are around $10 and $80 B. The mode of the data is around $50. ° C. The modes of the data are around $0 and $90. D. The mode of the data is around $30. c) Is the distribution symmetric? O A. The distribution is roughly symmetric. It is slightly skewed to the right. O B. The distribution is perfectly symmetric. C. The distribution is roughly symmetric. It is slightly skewed to the left. O D. The distribution is not symmetric

Explanation / Answer

Note: conclusions made on histogram given

Part-A : distribution is unimodal

Part-B : highest pick is somewhere between 20 to 40.

. " The mode of the data is arround $30"

Part-C : since the tail is elongated towards the right side

" The distribution is roughly symmetric . It is slightly skewed to the right"
