In the fuel efficiency study of 2007 compact model automobiles,the following histogram of the distribution of the miles-per-gallon fuel efficiency rating in city driving (MPG-City)for automobiles manufactured in Europe was obtained. From the histogram above,showing the distribution of MPG-City,we can see that the
A)shape of the distribution is roughly symmetric with one peak.
B)distribution is skewed to the left.
C)distribution is skewed to the right.
D)distribution is roughly symmetric with outlier values to the left.
E)shape of the distribution would be easier to see if a stemplot had been constructed instead of the histogram.
