Shapes of Distributions

Front

What is a Skewed Right distribution?

Back

A distribution where the tail on the right side is longer or fatter than the left side, indicating that most data points are concentrated on the left.

Front

What is a Skewed Left distribution?

Back

A distribution where the tail on the left side is longer or fatter than the right side, indicating that most data points are concentrated on the right.

Front

What does Symmetrical distribution mean?

Back

A distribution where the left and right sides are mirror images of each other, indicating that data points are evenly distributed around the mean.

Front

What is a Bimodal distribution?

Back

A distribution with two different modes or peaks, indicating that there are two prevalent values in the dataset.

Front

How can you identify a Right Skewed histogram?

Back

A histogram that has a longer tail on the right side, with most of the data concentrated on the left.

Front

How can you identify a Left Skewed histogram?

Back

A histogram that has a longer tail on the left side, with most of the data concentrated on the right.

Front

What is a Uniform distribution?

Back

A distribution where all outcomes are equally likely, resulting in a flat histogram.

Front

What is the mean in a Skewed Right distribution?

Back

The mean is typically greater than the median due to the influence of the higher values in the tail.

Front

What is the mean in a Skewed Left distribution?

Back

The mean is typically less than the median due to the influence of the lower values in the tail.

Front

What is the median in a Symmetrical distribution?

Back

The median is equal to the mean, as the data is evenly distributed.
