Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Modality refers to the number of peaks in a distribution, variability refers to the spread or range of the data, and symmetry refers to how evenly the data is distributed around the central point. These are the three main aspects of distributions. Choice B is incorrect as frequency is not an aspect of distribution, but rather a measure of how often a certain value occurs within the distribution. Choices C and D do not accurately describe the three aspects of distributions.
