Percent of Wetlands Lost How are the percentages distributed? Is the distribution skewed? Are there any gaps? (Select all that apply.)The percentages are concentrated from 20% to 60%.There is a gap showing that none of the lower 48 states has lost from 10% to 19% of its wetlands.There is a gap showing that none of the lower 48 states has lost from 60% to 69% of its wetlands.These data are strongly skewed left.These data are fairly symmetric, perhaps slightly skewed right.The percentages are concentrated from 60% to 90%.There are no gaps in the data.
Solution
The distribution of the percentages is concentrated from 20% to 60%. There are two noticeable gaps in the data, one showing that none of the lower 48 states has lost from 10% to 19% of its wetlands, and another showing that none of the states has lost from 60% to 69% of its wetlands. The data is not symmetric and it does not seem to be strongly skewed to the left or right. The statement that the percentages are concentrated from 60% to 90% contradicts the earlier observation. Therefore, there are gaps in the data and it is not evenly distributed.
