1. The problem asks to describe the shape of the daycare cost data based on the histogram. 2. Important definitions: - A distribution is **left-skewed** if the tail is longer on the left side. - It is **right-skewed** if the tail is longer on the right side. - It is **nearly symmetrical** if both sides are roughly equal. - It is **primarily asymmetrical** if it does not fit the above clearly. 3. From the histogram description: - The tallest bars are in the middle (160 to 200 dollars). - The bars decrease in height as cost increases beyond 200 dollars. - There is a longer tail to the right (higher costs). 4. This means the data has a longer tail on the right side, so it is **right-skewed**. Final answer: The daycare cost data is **right-skewed**.
