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.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The shape of the graph is unimodal

(b) The shape of the graph is non symmetric

(c) The skewness of the distribution is right skewed.

Step by step solution

01

Part(a) Step 1 : Given Information    

The given graph is:

we have to Identify the shape of the distirbution with regard to modality.

02

Part (a) Step 2 : Explanation  

A probability distribution with more than one peak, or "mode," is known as a multimodal distribution. The term "unimodal" refers to a distribution having only one peak. The term "bimodal" refers to a distribution with two peaks. A multimodal distribution has two or more peaks. There is only one peak in the given graph.

03

Part (b) Step 1: Given Information 

The given graph is:

we have to Identify the shape of the distribution with regard to symmetry (or non symmetry)

04

Part (b) Step 2: Explanation  

A symmetric distribution is one in which one half is the mirror image of the other. The graph can't be split into two equal halves, one of which is a mirror image of the other.

05

Part (c) Step 1: Given Information    

The given graph is:

We have to classify as either right skewed or left skewed If the distribution is unimodal and non symmetric.

06

Part(c) Step 2: Explanation 

The tail of the graph is longer towards the right. So, the shape of the graph is right skewed.

Therefore, the skewness of the distribution is right skewed.

Old Faithful. Old Faithful is a geyser in Yellowstone National Park that erupts at relatively predictable intervals. Since 2000, the eruptions of Old Faithfull occur on average every 90 minutes. Information on the daily eruptions of Old Faithful can be found on the website of The Geyser Observation and Study Association (GOSA). The following data provide the times between eruptions, in minutes, for Old Faithful over a two-day period.

a. Use cutpoint grouping with a first class of 60 -under 70 to construct a frequency histogram of the times between eruptions.

b. Identify the shape of the distribution with regard to modality.

c. Identify the shape of the distribution with regard to symmetry (or nonsymmetry).

d. If the distribution is unimodal and nonsymmetric, classify it as either right skewed or left skewed.

Class Project: Number of Siblings. This exercise is a class project and works best in relatively large classes.

a. Determine the number of siblings for each student in the class.

b. Obtain a relative-frequency histogram for the number of siblings. Use single-value grouping.

c. Obtain a simple random sample of about one-third of the students in the class.

d. Find the number of siblings for each student in the sample.

e. Obtain a relative-frequency histogram for the number of siblings for the sample. Use single-value grouping.

f. Repeat parts (c)-(e) three more times.

g. Compare the histograms for the samples to each other and to that for the entire population. Relate your observations to key Fact 2.1

Construct a dot plot for the given data.

Identify an important reason for grouping data.
