Answer:

Option D) This plot shows a negatively skewed data

Explanation:

We are given the four distributions.

We have to find those which are negatively skewed.

Negatively Skewed Distribution:

  • A negatively skewed also known as left-skewed distribution is a type of distribution in which more values are concentrated on the right side of the distribution while the left tail of the distribution graph is longer.
  • Mode > Median > Mean

A) The given plot shows a normal distribution as the maximum values lie around the mean.

B) The given histogram shows a normal distribution as the maximum values lie around the mean.

C) The given box and whisker plot shows a positively skewed data due to tail on the right side.

D) This plot shows a negatively skewed data as most of the data lies on the right side and a tail could be seen on left side due to less data on left side.
