Without being able to see the histogram, I can't directly analyze the data presented. However, I can explain how to identify the shape of the histogram:

  1. Symmetric: If the left side of the histogram mirrors the right side, it is symmetric.

  2. Skewed Right: If the tail on the right side is longer or fatter than the left side, it is skewed right.

  3. Skewed Left: If the tail on the left side is longer or fatter than the right side, it is skewed left.

You can apply these definitions to your histogram to determine the correct description of Ms. Mala’s Exam 1 scores. If the data does not fit any of these descriptions, you would select the option "neither symmetric, skewed right, nor skewed left".
