What does it mean if data is skewed right?

Back

If data is skewed right, it means that the tail on the right side of the distribution is longer or fatter than the left side, indicating that there are a few high values.

What is a peak in a data graph?

Back

A peak in a data graph is the highest point in the distribution, representing the mode or the most frequently occurring value.

What is a cluster in data distribution?

Back

A cluster in data distribution refers to a group of data points that are close together, indicating a concentration of values in that range.

Front

What does it mean for data to be symmetrical?

Back

Data is symmetrical when the left and right sides of the distribution are mirror images of each other, indicating that values are evenly distributed around a central point.

Front

What is the mode of a dataset?

What does it mean if there is a gap in the data?

Back

A gap in the data indicates a range of values where no data points exist, suggesting a break in the distribution.

Front

What is the significance of the range in data distribution?

Back

The range provides a measure of how spread out the values are in a dataset, helping to understand the variability.
