Hello, I am stuck on this problem.......
A histogram of height measurements among middle students would most likely be: This was a homework question I am confused because there is no data for how many kids or how tall they were. I am taking a guess thinking that the kids are would be normally distributed? Am I correct? Could you please solve? Thank you
normally distributed
orthogonal
skewed left
skewed right
According to the options of the following question "normally distributed" might be the best options indeed. Just think about the data structure , if we plot the height of students (not adult) in "centimeters" , the height around 110-125 have low frequency and then it increases gradually , around 140-150 it takes maximum value approximately then reduces gradually. This is the pattern we can find with greater chances. So here i take the heights 110 cms just because it has been mentioned that "height measurement among middle student". Students are from school , college , university so middle " student " means i guess , it indicates school student and in this time the height is fluctuated mostly among the student . if we take adult student ( college , university), i think the data will be slightly negatively skewed.
So, without having the data in our hand , " normally distributed " is the most appropriate among the given options.
