Describe the shape of the histogram. The histogram shows a distribution that is positively skewed with small relative frequencies for larger rainfall amounts.The histogram shows a distribution that is negatively skewed with small relative frequencies for smaller rainfall amounts. The histogram shows a distribution that contains two peaks, one between 26 and 28 inches and the other between 10 and 12 inches. The distribution contains a dip between 20 and 24 inches.The histogram shows a distribution that is slightly positively skewed with a dip between 24 and 28.

The table below shows the frequency distribution of the rainfall on 52 consecutive Sundays in a certain city. Use the frequency distribution to construct a histogram. Do the data appear to have a distribution that is approximately normal? Class 0 - 0.19 0.20 - 0.39 0.40 - 0.59 0.60 - 0.79 0.80 - 0.99 1.00 - 1.19 1.20 - 1.39 Frequency 26 12 3 2 4 1 4 Choose the correct histogram below. Do the data appear to have a distribution that is approximately normal? A. No, it is not symmetric. B. No, it has no obvious maximum. C. Yes, it is approximately normal. D. No, it is approximately uniform.

The data represents the daily rainfall (in inches) for one month. Construct a frequency distribution beginning with a lower class limit of 0.00 and use a class width of 0.20. Does the frequency distribution appear to be roughly a normal distribution? 0.41 0 0 0.29 0 0.61 0 0.23 0 0 1.25 0 0.15 0 0.02 0 0.18 0 0.11 0.49 0 0.01 0 0.23 0 0.12 0 0 0.09 0 Daily Rainfall (in inches) Frequency 0.00-0.19 0.20-0.39 0.40-0.59 0.60-0.79 0.80-0.99 1.00-1.19 1.20-1.39 Does the frequency distribution appear to be roughly a normal distribution? A. No, although the frequencies start low, increase to some maximum, then decrease, the distribution is not symmetric. B. No, the distribution is not symmetric and the frequencies do not start off low.

A set of scores is presented in a histogram. The histogram shows a series of bars that tend to increase in height from left to right. What is the shape of the distribution? A Positively skewed. B Normal (symmetric). C Negatively skewed. D None of the above.
