b. if unimodal, classify the distribution as symmetric right-skewed. or left-skewed.

We have drawn a smooth curve that represents a distribution,
a. Identify the shape of the distirbution with regard to modality.
b. Identify the shape of the distribution with regard to symmetry (or non symmetry)
c . If the distribution is unimodal and non symmetric, classify it as either right skewed or left skewed.
