$1;1;1;2;2;2;2;3;3;3;3;3;3;3;3;4;4;4;5;5$

Short answer

The data is symmetric.

Step-by-step solution

Given information

The data given is:

$1;1;1;2;2;2;2;3;3;3;3;3;3;3;3;4;4;4;5;5$

Explanation

The plot of the data is:

Since the data has the highest frequency $3$which is the center of the graph. Also, the beside bars $2$and $4$are more or less has the same height. We can say the graph is symmetric.
