The correct description of the shape of the distribution: the distribution is roughly symmetric.
The correct answer is an option (b)
In this question we have been given a Box and Whisker Plot.
We need select the correct description of the shape of the distribution.
We know that if the median is in the middle of the box, and the whiskers are about the same on both sides of the box, then the distribution is symmetric distribution.
Also, when the median is closer to the bottom of the box, and if the whisker is shorter on the lower end of the box, then the distribution is positively skewed i.e., skewed right.
And when the median is closer to the bottom of the box, and if the whisker is shorter on the upper end of the box, then the distribution is negatively skewed i.e., skewed left.
From given graph we can observe that the median is in the middle of the box, and the whiskers are about the same on both sides of the box.
Therefore, the distribution is symmetric distribution.
