Question

The histogram represents the distributions of rain amounts in two cities. Which best explains how the histogram is useful for comparing the shapes of the data sets? It is easier to visually compare the means of the data. It is easier to visually compare the standard deviations of the data. It is easier to visually compare the medians of the data. It is easier to visually compare symmetry and skew of the data.

Answer 1

It is easier to visually compare symmetry and skew of the data.

Answer 2

It is easier to visually compare symmetry and skew of the data.

Explanation:

Given that the histogram represents the distributions of rain amounts in two cities.

Histogram enables us to have a visual idea easily understandable about the pattern of the distribution.

The important points are whether the distribution is symmetrical or right/left skewed.

Mean, median, std deviations cannot be found easily by justing seeing the histograms.

Hence correct answer is

It is easier to visually compare symmetry and skew of the data.
