To find: The correct set of data given among the options that suit the given histogram.
The given histogram would be apt for the data of winning soccer scores for a team over the course of a season.
Given:
The histogram given is:
Concept used:
The histogram with the tail to its right side is said to be skewed to the right and the histogram with its tail to the left side is said to be skewed to the left.
Explanation:
The histogram given has tail to its left side, it is skewed to left. With reference to the given options, the scores in an amateur golf tournament have the lowest score wins, which makes the plot to be skewed to right.
The weights of children in third-grade class may have weights in a particular range and there are possibilities of few outliers which represent abnormal weights; thus, its shape cannot be for sure a left-skewed plot.
The people visiting the zoo at a given point of time will have more children, thus the distribution of age will be skewed to the right.
The prices of desserts on the menu of a restaurant are within a certain range and there can be possibilities of outliers which have either very less or very expensive, but the plot of such distribution cannot be said for sure a left-skewed.
The data of winning soccer scores for a team over the season will be left skewed as the team wins most of the scores are high and there are few low scores over the season.
Conclusion:
The graph of winning soccer scores for a team over a course of a season is skewed to left. Thus, correct option is C “Winning soccer scores for a team over the course of a season.”
