For a biology lab course containing 10 students, the maximum point total for the quarter was 200. The point totals for the 10 students are given in the following stemplot:
$$\begin{array} { l | l }
11 & 68 \
12 & 148 \
13 & 37 \
14 & 26 \
15 & \
16 & \
17 & 9
\end{array}$$ Suppose this stemplot was drawn as a histogram. What would be the best description of the shape of this histogram?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The stemplot shows that most of the data points are concentrated on the lower end (110-170 range) with fewer points extending towards the higher end (up to 179). This distribution suggests that the histogram would have a longer tail extending to the right, indicating a right-skewed (or positively skewed) distribution.
