Question

A secretary listed the frequency of calls by a patient to a doctor's office during a year, and the data is displayed in the histogram.

Which of the following best describes the spread and distribution of the data?

1. The data is skewed to the higher values because many patients call the doctor several times a day when they are sick.

2. The data is skewed to the lower values because many patients only call the doctor once or twice a year when they are sick.

3. The data is bimodal with a narrow spread because many patients call the doctor several times a day when they are sick.

4. The data is normal and has a wide spread because many patients only call the doctor once or twice a year when they are sick.
