Question

The time spent by kids and adults in a park is plotted. Comparing the two data, both the plots are

• A. left skewed
• B. symmetric
• C. right skewed

Answer 1

The correct option is A left skewed

1. The data is left-skewed when most of the data is on the right side of the graph and the long skinny tail extends to the left.

2. The data is right-skewed when most of the data is on the left side of the graph and the long skinny tail extends to the right.

3. If the data is symmetric, the left side of the graph is a mirror image of the right side of the graph.


From the given plots, we observe that, the tail is extended to the left.


Hence, both the plots are left skewed.
