Expert Solution
Introduction
There are two types of distributions of data item symmetric and asymmetric. 
The "normal distribution" and the "skewed distribution" are two prevalent 
illustrations of both symmetry and asymmetry.
 
when two sides of the distribution are mirror images of one another it is known as symmetrical distribution
truly symmetric distribution of observed values is referred to as 
normal distribution.
When histogram is created utilizing data that is normally distributed, the columns take on the form of symmetrical bell. 
Because of this, this distribution is also referred to as "normal curve" or "bell 
curve."

 

The two sides of an asymmetric distribution won't be mirror reflections of one 

another.

When histogram is created for skewed data, skewness can be determined by 

examining the distribution's form.
