Continue to next subchapter

Exercise 9 Page 475

Where are most of the data located? Is there any symmetry?

Symmetric.

Practice makes perfect

Consider the given dot plot.

We want to describe the shape of this distribution. Notice that the left side of the graph is a mirror image of the right side of the graph and most of the data are located in the middle of the graph.

This means that the distribution is symmetric.
