Describe the shape of the distribution for the following and justify your answer:

a. The distance people travel to work on a typical day - The horizontal axis is the distance traveled in a person's daily commute. The vertical axis is frequency (number of people with that distance for their daily commute). Shape of distribution:
uniform
symmetric
skewed left
skewed right
Justification:



b. Number of hours of sleep for each night of the week (weekdays only) - The horizontal axis is the day of the week (Monday to Friday) and the vertical axis is the amount of sleep in hours for that night. Shape of distribution:
symmetric
skewed left
skewed right
uniform
Justification:



c. Age of first heart attack - The horizontal axis is age. The vertical axis is frequency (number of people who had their first heart attack at that age). The population is people in the US who have had at least one heart attack. Shape of distribution:
skewed left
symmetric
skewed right
uniform
Justification:



d. Scores on the Graduate Requirement Exam - This is a standardized test for people entering graduate school. The horizontal axis would be the person's total score. The vertical axis would be frequency (number of people with that score). The population would be all GRE test takers for a given year. Shape of distribution:
skewed left
symmetric
skewed right
uniform
Justification:

Respuesta :

As the travelling distance to work increases, number of such people decreases. Therefore this distribution shape will be skewed right.

How to depict the shape?

On each weekday, the number of sleeping hours generally remains the same. So the shape of the distribution will be uniform.

In general, most people will have their first heart attack at a higher age. So the shape of the distribution will be skewed left.

Scores of GRE will have a normal distribution in general. So the shape of the distribution will be symmetric.
