Question

Which of the following best explains why one graph appears skewed and one graph appears symmetric?

The intervals on the x-axis of the histogram are too large.

The interval on the y-axis of the histogram is too small.

The interval on the x-axis of the histogram is inconsistent.

The interval on the box-and-whisker plot is too small.

Answer 1

The interval on the X-Axis of the Histogram is inconsistent

Explanation:

Answer 2

Hello there!

The interval on the X-Axis of the Histogram is inconsistent:

An Histogram is a graphic representation of the frequency of values. It should include all the data range on the x-axis. In this case, the x-Axis should include all intervals from 0 to 24 years, but in the graph the intervals "jump" from 10-14 to 20-24.

This inconsistency causes the difference between the two graphics because the two of them should be skewed to the left, according to the age distribution.
