Match each data set with the shape of its graphical form.


Options:

skewed to the right

skewed to the left

uniform

symmetrical



Match too:

Data set A: 2, 2, 2, 1, 3, 4, 5

Data set B: 1, 4, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 4, 7

Data set C: 3, 4, 2, 3, 1, 2, 4, 1

Data set D: 2, 4, 5, 1, 5, 3, 6, 5

Answer 1

Based on the provided data sets, we can match each data set with the shape of its graphical form as follows:

Data set A: uniform

Data set B: skewed to the right

Data set C: skewed to the left

Data set D: symmetrical

Data set and graph shape

Data set A: The values in data set A are 2, 2, 2, 1, 3, 4, and 5. This data set is considered uniform because the values are evenly distributed without any noticeable skewness. In a graphical form, the data points would be evenly spread out without any clear tendency towards higher or lower values.

Data set B: The values in data set B are 1, 4, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 4, and 7. This data set is skewed to the right because there is a longer tail on the right side of the distribution.

Data set C: The values in data set C are 3, 4, 2, 3, 1, 2, 4, and 1. The data set is skewed to the left because there is a longer tail on the left side of the distribution.

Data set D: The values in data set D are 2, 4, 5, 1, 5, 3, 6, and 5. The data set is symmetrical because the distribution is balanced and does not display any noticeable skewness. In a graphical form, the data points would be evenly spread out without a clear tendency towards higher or lower values, and the distribution would be roughly symmetric around the mean.

Answer 2

The data set is matched as follows

Data set A: skewed to the right

Data set B: symmetrical

Data set C: uniform

Data set D: skewed to the left

How to match the dataset

Arranging we have

Data set A: 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5

Data set B: 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 7

Data set C: 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4

Data set D: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6

In data set A, the values are concentrated on the lower end, with a longer tail extending towards higher values, indicating a rightward skewness. This is similar to data set B

Data set B is symmetrical, with values distributed roughly evenly on both sides of the center

Data set C is uniform showing uniformity (not perfectly uniform)

Data set D is skewed to the left as it has more values on the higher end and a tail extending towards lower values.
