A distribution or set of observations is said to be skewed left or negatively skewed if it has a longer "tail" of numbers on the left. The mass of the distribution is more towards the right of the figure rather than the middle.

Are the data shown in the line plot skewed left skewed right or not skewed?

To determine if the data in a line plot is skewed left, right, or not skewed, you would need to observe the distribution of the data points. If the tail on the left side is longer or fatter, it is left-skewed; if the tail on the right side is longer or fatter, it is right-skewed. If the data points are evenly distributed around a central value, it is not skewed. Without seeing the actual plot, I can't provide a definitive answer.


What is meant by left skewed binary tree?

a binary tree with only left sub trees is called as left skewed binary tree


Can a normal distribution curve be symmetric or left-skewed or right-skewed?

Symmetric


How many tails in skewed distribution?

A skewed distribution typically has one tail that is longer or fatter than the other. In a right-skewed distribution, the tail on the right side is longer, while in a left-skewed distribution, the left tail is longer. Therefore, a skewed distribution has one dominant tail, but it can be characterized by its direction (right or left).


The histogram of a sample should have a distribution shape that is skewed. Is this true or false?

False. It can be skewed to the left or right or be symmetrical.


What does it mean when a set of votes has been skewed?

When a set of votes has been skewed it means that either the mean is higher than the median or lower. If it is higher the vote is said to be skewed to the right and when lower it is skewed to the left.


What is the shape of a frequency distribution with an arithmetic mean of 800 pounds median of 758 pounds and a mode of 750 pounds?

As the mean is greater than the median it will be positively skewed (skewed to the right), and if the median is larger than the mean it will be negatively skewed (skewed to the left)


What is a positively skewed distribution?

A positively skewed or right skewed distribution means that the mean of the data falls to the right of the median. Picturewise, most of the frequency would occur to the left of the graph.


Where is all the majority of the data when the distribution is skwed right?

on the left and when it is skewed left it is on the right


What is the most appropriate measure of location for a data set which is highly skewed to either the left or the right?

If it is very highly skewed then the mode is best.


What is a skewed right?

A distribution or set of observations is said to be skewed right or positively skewed if it has a longer "tail" of numbers on the right. The mass of the distribution is more towards the left of the figure rather than the middle.


Is it true if a distribution is negatively skewed if the right tail is longer than the left?

No, a distribution is considered negatively skewed if the left tail is longer or fatter than the right tail. In this case, the bulk of the data is concentrated on the right side, with a longer tail extending to the left. A positively skewed distribution, on the other hand, has a longer right tail.
