Answer:

The data in not skewed.

Explanation:

We have been given a line plot and we are asked to determine whether the data shown in the given line plot skewed left, skewed right, or not skewed.

Since we know that right skewed data has long tail to the right and left skewed data has long tail to the left. A data set is not skewed if it is symmetric.

We can see that our given data points are symmetric about the point 8 as there are 2 dots on each 4 and 12 number. We can also see that there are 1 dot on each 0 and 16 and 0 and 16 are equidistant from 8.

Therefore, the data shown in the given line plot is not skewed and it is symmetric.
