Match The Distributions Worksheet

MATCH THE DISTRIBUTIONS

WORKSHEET

Often a histogram is plotted to display results. It is important to understand why we plot a

histogram and what it tells us.

On the following pages are six graphs, six variables they represent and a comment on their

shape (skewness). These are mixed up.

TASK 1

1. Get into a group of 3 or 4 people.

2. Cut out the cards if this has not already been done for you.

3. Work with each other in the group to match:

the picture of the histogram

with

the card of the variable the histogram represents

with

a card describing its shape (skewness) i.e.:

positively skewed

symmetrical

negatively skewed

You should finish with six piles each with three cards.
