If the shape of a frequency distribution is lopsided, with a long tail projecting longer to the left than to the right, how would the distribution be skewed?Choose onenormallynegativelypositivelyaverage

When a distribution has a greater proportion of the measurements to the right of the peak value, we say that it is skewed to the left.

What does a negative skewness value indicate about a distribution?The distribution is skewed to the right.The distribution is skewed to the left.The distribution is symmetrical.The distribution is flat

The skewness of the Normal distribution is ______.

dis-cuss the skewness of the distribution.

Question 17Which one of the following is NOT a valid statement about any frequency distribution?If the measure of skewness of a distribution is zero it must be symmetricIf the data are skewed to the left (negative skewness), the mean will be less than the medianFor a symmetric distribution the upper and lower quartiles will be equidistant from the medianThe mode of a symmetric distribution does not necessarily need to equal the median
