This shape is very uncommon and unusual, so don't worry if you didn't quite understand it because VCAA always puts clear data in the exams. I'd describe the shape as approximately double bell-shaped. The total of the frequencies is 20 so the centre of the distribution approximately lies in the third statistic. As for the range, that is the largest value minus the smallest value, which works out to be 700.

Yeah, this frequency histogram was derived from data which was selected randomally. But thanks for explaining that out for me! :D
