Question

Suppose that someone sampled 100 Palm trees of the same species, all planted at the same time. They recorded the height for each tree. What shape would you expect the histogram of this data to be?

A. Symmetric
B. Right Skewed
C. Left Skewed
D. Uniform

Answer 1

A. Symmetric

Explanation:

I expect the histogram be symmetric because, the trees are same species and all are planted at the same time.

There is no tree treated differently during planting or affected by an isolated factor.

Therefore, we should expect the differences in the height of the trees has a normal distribution.
