approximately normal
skewed left
skewed right
, with a mode of
4
6
8
9
, and a range of
4
6
8
9

Answer 1

Approximately normal

Mode: 4

Range:9

Explanation:

The data is pretty evenly spread, the data isn’t pushed to the left or right giving the answer of approximately normal.

Mode: The number that occurs the most is the mode. This means that 4 would be the answer because it has the most dots.

Range: To find the range subtract the smallest number from the biggest number. In this case you would get 9-0 (this is because no data is recorded for 10) which equals 9.

I hope this helps! :)
