what does this mean?

Question

i dont get what this question is asking can someone please help me?

describe the shape of your line plot. tell what the shape indicates about the distribution of the hat sizes sold.

what does shape and distribution mean?

Answer 1

Well, if you connect the dots on the plot you just made (there should only be one y value for any x), it will make a shape. A common shape is a bell (bell curve or normal distribution). It might look like a "J." Or an "S." Just describe the shape that forms along the x-axis (the bottom side, near you).

The distribution refers to the overall shape of the curve (above). What does the y-axis values say about the x-axis values? Are more mid-range hat sizes sold? Or are lots of people buying hats for hamsters, making the really small hat sizes more popular?
