GCSE Maths Practice: histograms

Question 9 of 10

Identify the skewness of the distribution from the histogram.

‹ ›

\( \begin{array}{l} \text{Interpret the histogram data:} \\ \text{Which best describes the distribution shape?} \end{array} \)

Choose one option:

\( \text{The distribution is skewed to the right (positive skew).} \) \( \text{The distribution is symmetrical.} \) \( \text{The distribution is skewed to the left (negative skew).} \) \( \text{There are two distinct peaks in the distribution.} \)

Observe the peak and tail to determine skewness.

Check where the bulk of data lies and the tail direction to identify positive skew.
