Shape:skewed towards right

Center: 2 to 5 letters

Spread: 1 letter to 12 letters per word

Explanation of Solution

Given:

  The Practice of Statistics for AP - 4th Edition, Chapter 1.2, Problem 52E

Calculation:

The shape, centre and spread of the distribution of the histogram showing the distribution of lengths of words used in Shakespeare's plays is below:

Shape: The distribution is skewed towards right means majority of words are of 2 to 5 letters but several have 6-12 letters words. So the graph has a spread towards right from its peak. The distribution is unimodal i.e. it has single peak.

Centre: From the graph we see that midpoint (median) would fall somewhere in the 2-3 words.

Spread: The histogram shows that the distribution of lengths of words used in Shakespeare's plays varies from 1 letter to 12 letters per word.

Outliers: There are no outliers in the data i.e. there are no extreme values in the data.
