Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Observe the distribution
The histogram shows the frequency distribution of a variable. The x-axis represents the values of the variable, and the y-axis represents the frequency of each value.
Step 2: Identify the shape
The distribution is roughly bell-shaped, as it is mostly symmetrical around a central peak value (approximately between 25 and 30). There are two small bars at 0 and 45 which create a slightly skewed right shape; however, these bars are very small compared to the rest of the graph.
