A histogram of serum cholesterol, like Figure 1, with Lower tail, Mode, and Upper tail marked: a graph where the horizontal axis is labeled serum cholesterol and numbered 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and the vertical axis is labeled frequency and numbered 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25.
There are vertical bars with bases 3 to 4, 4 to 5, 5 to 6, 6 to 7, and so on, with heights 3, 11, 24, 20, 19, 5, 2, and 2.
The Lower Tail is marked at serum cholesterol between 3 and 4. The Upper Tail is marked at serum cholesterol between 9 and 11. The Mode is marked at serum cholesterol between 5 and 6.
