To characterize the distribution, the data have to be put into a frequency distribution graph.

After graphing the data, the distribution is a bit skewed to the right although it could be considered symmetrical.

Here are the values that define the central tendency:

mean = 22.79

median = 23

mode = 23

The three are almost equal. So, the distribution can be classified as symmetrical.
