Compare the graphs showing the number of pets each student in Mr. Bernhardt’s and Ms. Daniel’s classes has. In 3–5 sentences, state whether the distributions are symmetric and provide at least two similarities and two differences.

Answer 1

When comparing the distributions of pets in Mr. Bernhardt's and Ms. Daniel's classes, we can observe key characteristics regarding symmetry and overall trends.

Similarities:

1. Both classes show a peak at one pet, with Mr. Bernhardt's class having the highest count at 1 pet (3 students), and Ms. Daniel's class also having a significant number of students (4) with 1 pet.
2. In both classes, there are fewer students who reported having either no pets or four pets, creating a similar flatness at the extremes of the distribution.

Differences:

1. Mr. Bernhardt’s class has a distribution that leans towards fewer pets overall, with a noticeable drop-off as the number of pets increases, while Ms. Daniel’s class displays a more balanced distribution with peak counts in the middle categories (1 to 3 pets).
2. Ms. Daniel's class has no students with zero pets, contrasting with Mr. Bernhardt’s class, which has 2 students with no pets, indicating a more pet-friendly environment in Ms. Daniel's class.

Overall, the distributions differ in their symmetry, as Mr. Bernhardt's distribution is negatively skewed with fewer pets, while Ms. Daniel's distribution is more balanced.
