Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Class 1 is fairly symmetric, Class 2 is left-skewed, and Class 3 is symmetric, which is consistent across all options. The only difference is the description of Class 2, which is left-skewed in option C, whereas it is either right-skewed or also left-skewed in the other options. However, given the spread and range of the data, left-skewed seems like a more appropriate description for Class 2. Therefore, option C is the best choice.
