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.

What does it mean when two figures are congruent?
Two figures are congruent when they have the exact same angles within them. However, one of the figures might be blown up or shrunk. (Just not Skewed/Stretched).for example: Ais congruent tobut isn't congruent toASince it's slanted (skewed).=== === == == == ==

What is meant by left skewed binary tree?

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.
When is the mean not a valid statistic to describe a set of data?
The population data may be skewed and thus the mean is not a valid statistic. If mean > median, the data will be skewed to the right. If median > mean, the data is skewed to the left.
What does data skewed to the left in a histogram look like?

A symmetric graph is a graph the is skewed neither left nor right?
True
