Determine whether the approximate shape of the distribution in the histogram shown is symmetric, uniform, skewed left, skewed right, or none of these. Justify your answer. 0246810120369121518 A histogram has a horizontal axis labeled from 0 to 13 in increments of 1 and a vertical axis labeled from 0 to 18 in increments of 3. The histogram has vertical bars of width 1, where each vertical bar is centered over a horizontal axis tick mark. The heights of the vertical bars are as follows, where the horizontal center of the bar is listed first and the height is listed second: 1, 15; 2, 15; 3, 14; 4, 15; 5, 16; 6, 16; 7, 14; 8, 15; 9, 14; 10, 15; 11, 14; 12, 16. Choose the correct answer below. A. The shape of the distribution is approximately uniform because the bars are approximately the same height. B. The shape of the distribution is approximately skewed right because the bars have a tail to the right. C. The shape of the distribution is approximately symmetric because the bars have a tail to the left and to the right. D. The shape of the distribution is approximately skewed left because the bars have a tail to the left. E. The shape of the distribution is none of these because the bars do not show any of these general trends.
