Expert Solution
Step 1

At first glance, the histogram appears to be of containing a high peak. Due to its peaked characteristic, it can be termed as a leptokurtic histogram. Further, the distribution of values in the histograms appears to be positively skewed, as it has a larger tail towards the right side of the histogram.

To conclude in a word, it can be claimed about the shape of the histogram that, it represents a leptokurtic positively skewed distribution.
