Errors and uncertainties — practice question

In an experiment with experimental uncertainty, a constant quantity $x_0$ is measured repeatedly. A graph is drawn to display the number $n$ of occasions on which a given value $x$ is recorded. Which graph might be obtained if the measurement of $x_0$ contains a large systematic error but only a small random error?
