Question

Help me please!!
Based on the histogram, which statement is correct about the shape of the histogram?

It is a bell curve with a longer tail on the left because of the presence of more days with lower temperatures.

It is a bell curve with a longer tail on the right because there are more days with lower temperatures than higher temperatures.

It is a bell curve with a longer tail on the left because there are more days with lower temperatures than higher temperatures.

It is a bell curve with a longer tail on the right because of the presence of more days with lower temperatures.

Answer 1

Which answer do you think it is?

Answer 2

C?

Answer 3

The tails of a bell curve are the parts where it diminishes to nothing

Answer 4

So its not C?

Answer 5

It's not C. There is no tail (or a very short tail) to the left.

Answer 6

so its either B or D?

Answer 7

Yeah. A longer tail on the right means there's more stuff on the right. If moving right means higher temperature, then that means there are more days with a higher temperature.

This is assuming the question means "higher" and "lower" with reference to the mean temperature.

Answer 8

So would you say it would be B?

Answer 9

Longer tail on right, presence of more days with higher temperature.

Looking at the answers at the top, B and D both say the same thing.

Answer 10

Unless "lower" and "higher" are with respect to 0.

In that case B

Answer 11

Alright thank you! Do you mind helping me with another question?
