Examine the following figure, which displays hypothetical measurements of a sample of individuals from three groups. The horizontal axis represents three groups: A, B, and C. The vertical axis represents measurements from 0.0 to 10.0 with an interval of 2.5. The approximate data from graph are as follows: For group A, majority of measurements lie between 1 to 5 with widest bulge at 2 point 7. For group B, majority of measurements lie between 1 and 6 with the widest bulge at 2 point 5. For group C, majority of measurements lie between 2 point 5 and 7 with the widest bulge at 6 point 5. A) In which of the groups is the frequency distribution of measurements approximately symmetric? B) Which of the frequency distributions show negative skew? C) Which of the frequency distributions show positive skew?
