When each data set has the same frequency, then all bars in its corresponding frequency histogram would have the same height.
A distribution is symmetric, if part of the histogram is the mirror image of the other part of the histogram. We then note that the distribution is symmetric, if each data class has the same frequency, as the histogram to the left of the middle class is the mirror image of the histogram to the right of the middle class (since all bars have the same height) and thus the given statement is true.
