Nah, it's positively skewed for sure!

I think it's symmetric about the mean.
AV

Wait, are we sure about the skewness?
BE

Totally agree, definitely not symmetric!
TH

Looks like it's negatively skewed to me.

I’m leaning towards negatively skewed, but I need to double-check the tails of the graph to be sure.
EL

I feel like the distribution might be symmetric about the mean, but I could be mixing it up with another example we did.

I remember practicing a question like this where the data was symmetric. I wonder if this one is too.

I think the graph looks a bit skewed, but I'm not sure if it's negatively or positively skewed.

This is a good opportunity to apply my knowledge of frequency distributions. I'll analyze the graph, consider the relative positioning of the data points, and select the answer that best matches the shape I observe.

Okay, I've studied this type of question before. I just need to focus on the visual cues in the graph - the symmetry or lack thereof - to identify the correct skewness.

Hmm, the graph is a bit tricky to interpret. I'll need to carefully examine the distribution of the ages to figure out if it's skewed in one direction or symmetric.

This looks like a straightforward question about the shape of the frequency distribution. I'll take a close look at the graph and think about the key characteristics to determine the skewness.

I'm a bit unsure about this one. The graph doesn't seem to have a clear peak or center, so I'll have to think through the shape more carefully to determine the skewness.

I'm pretty sure the PCI DSS requires logs to be retained for at least 1 year, so I'll go with option C.

Wait, I'm a bit confused. Doesn't the assert statement only throw an error if the condition is false? I'm not sure if that's the right answer.

Okay, let me think this through. The sample size was 90 desks, and 8 had sensitive info. That's about 8.9% noncompliance. Since the tolerance is 4%, I believe the incidents need to be reported, as they exceed the acceptable level.

The shape is definitely positively skewed. Looks like the insurance company is attracting a lot of young, hip customers. Maybe they should offer a 'TikTok dance challenge' for a discount.

It's interesting to see how the age distribution is skewed towards the younger population. The insurance company must be doing something right to appeal to them.

I think offering a 'TikTok dance challenge' for a discount is a fun idea! It could attract even more young customers.
GE
Gerri

I agree, the graph definitely shows a positive skew. It seems like the majority of customers are younger.
MA

A positively skewed distribution? I guess the insurance company is targeting the younger demographic. Maybe they're offering 'Fortnite' skins as incentives.

Hmm, the shape looks symmetric to me. Maybe I need to get my eyes checked, or the data is just playing tricks on me.

User 3: Yeah, it definitely looks symmetric to me too.

User 1: I think the shape is symmetric.

The graph clearly shows a positively skewed distribution, with a long tail to the right. This indicates that the data has a higher frequency of younger individuals in the insurance contract.
MA
Mari

I believe it is positively skewed, as the peak is on the right side.
SH

I agree with Thurman, the graph shows a longer tail on the left side.
TH
Thurman

I think the data is negatively skewed.
LO

I believe it is symmetric about the mean, as there seems to be a balance on both sides of the peak.
