Q:

A spinner is divided into five sections numbered 1 through 5. Juana records the number the spinner lands on for each of 50 spins. She computes and graphs the relative frequencies for each number. Which of the following describes the probability distribution?-Constant-Symmetric-Negatively Skewed-Positively Skewed

Accepted Solution

A:
The distribution of the probability of the given data is a Positive Skewed Probability distribution.Given to usA spinner is divided into five sections numbered 1 through 5. Juana records the number the spinner lands on for each of the 50 spins. She computes and graphs the relative frequencies for each numberWhat is a Probability distribution?It is a type of distribution in which the distribution has a constant probability, therefore, the probability of each event occurring is equal.What is symmetric distribution?Symmetric distribution is the type of distribution where the left side of the distribution and the right side of the distribution are mirror images to each other, therefore, they are symmetrical.What is Negatively Skewed Probability distribution?Negatively Skewed Probability distribution is a type of distribution of the probability where the right side(tail) of the distribution is more concentrated than the right side.What is Positive Skewed Probability distribution?Positive Skewed Probability distribution is a type of distribution of the probability where the left side of the distribution is more concentrated than the right side.Which of the following describes the probability distribution of the given data?Since in the given graph probability of every number occurring from 2 to 5 is equal to 0.12(12%), while the probability of number 1 occurring is 0.5(50%). Thus, the distribution of the probability is towards the right end of the graph.Hence, the distribution of the probability of the given data is a Positive Skewed Probability distribution.Learn more about Probability Distribution:
