Question
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
Solution
A negative skewness value indicates that the distribution is skewed to the left. This means that the left tail of the distribution is longer or fatter than the right tail. In other words, there are more data points on the right side of the distribution's peak, and the left side of the distribution extends further than the right side.
