Skewed Left or Right

  • When a distribution is skewed left the mean is less than the median

  • When a distribution is skewed right the mean will be more than the median.

Uniform Distribution

  • In a uniform distribution, the data values are spread out equally among the intervals.

  • The values are the same or close to the same.

  • The data is distributed evenly around the mean and the mean and the median are close to the same.

Bell or Symmetrical Distributions

  • Symmetrical distributions of data can also be called normal or bell shaped.

  • Since their distribution is fairly normal, the mean and the median will be close to the same.
