Step by step solution

01

Content Introduction

The number of peaks in a distribution, as well as its symmetry, skewness, and uniformity, are used to describe its shape. In skewed distributions, more points are plotted on one side of the graph than the other.

02

Content Explanation

The shape in this picture is of histogram and we can define it by saying that a histogram is bell-shaped if it contains one single peak in the center of the distribution and resembles a "bell" curve.

This distribution have "left tail" or is pulled more on left side when we draw a line of symmetry, shown in the picture below.

Therefore, the shape of distribution is left tailed. or skewed to the left.
