Which of the following best describes the data distribution of the histogram below?

Data in a histogram can be classified as symmetric, positively skewed, or negatively skewed. Symmetric indicates that the data is evenly distirbuted and that one half of the data is a mirror image of the other half. However, if the data appears to be skewed to the right (the mean is to the right of the peak and evens out toward the right), then it is positively skewed. If the data appears to be skewed to the left (the mean is the left of the peak and evens out toward the left), then it is negatively skewed. In this case, the data is skewed positively, because the mean is the right of the peak and it evens out in the right direction (positive direction on the number line).

The given histogram in the figure is positively skewed which is option c.

What is skewness?

Skewness is a measure of asymmetry of the probablity distribution of a real random variable.

How to identify skewness?

Data in histogram can be defined as symmetric, positively skewed, or negatively skewed. Symmetric indicates that the data is evenly distributed and that one half of the data is a mirror image of the other half of data . However, if the data appears to be skewed to the right , then it is positively skewed. If the data appears to be skewed to the left then it is negatively skewed. In our case data is skewed positively, because the mean is the right of the peak and it evens out in the right direction.

Hence the histogram in the figure is positively skewed.
