What is a negative frequency distribution?
If most the population has many high scores, the distribution is negatively skewed. If most have many low scores, it is positively skewed
Is it true some normal probability distributions are positively skewed?
No. The Normal distribution is symmetric: skewness = 0.
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.
What if the mean is greater than the median?
In the majority of Empirical cases the mean will not be equal to the median, so the event is hardly unusual. If the mean is greater, then the distribution is poitivelt skewed (skewed to the right).
Is a bell shaped curve an example of a skewed distribution?
No.
When population distribution is right skewed is the sampling also with right skewed distribution?
If the population distribution is roughly normal, the sampling distribution should also show a roughly normal distribution regardless of whether it is a large or small sample size. If a population distribution shows skew (in this case skewed right), the Central Limit Theorem states that if the sample size is large enough, the sampling distribution should show little skew and should be roughly normal. However, if the sampling distribution is too small, the sampling distribution will likely also show skew and will not be normal. Although it is difficult to say for sure "how big must a sample size be to eliminate any population skew", the 15/40 rule gives a good idea of whether a sample size is big enough. If the population is skewed and you have fewer that 15 samples, you will likely also have a skewed sampling distribution. If the population is skewed and you have more that 40 samples, your sampling distribution will likely be roughly normal.
Which estimator will consistently have a skewed sampling distribution?
Coefficient of varation
Is a normal distribution a skewed?
No.
Can a normal distribution curve be symmetric or left-skewed or right-skewed?
Symmetric
What is non normal distribution?
A distribution that is NOT normal. Most of the time, it refers to skewed distributions.
Is a normal distribution extremely skewed or oddly shaped?
It is not at all skewed. As to oddly shaped, it depends on your expectations.
What is a negative frequency distribution?
If most the population has many high scores, the distribution is negatively skewed. If most have many low scores, it is positively skewed
Is it true some normal probability distributions are positively skewed?
No. The Normal distribution is symmetric: skewness = 0.
When is data negatively or positively skewed?
i) Since Mean<Median the distribution is negatively skewed ii) Since Mean>Median the distribution is positively skewed iii) Median>Mode the distribution is positively skewed iv) Median<Mode the distribution is negatively skewed
When a large number of samples are drawn from a negatively skewed population the distribution of the sample means?
.45
Who invented skewed distribution?
Nobody invented skewed distributions! There are more distributions that are skewed than are symmetrical, and they were discovered as various distribution functions were discovered.
Why does a binomial distribution become more skewed as n increases?
As n increases, the distribution becomes more normal per the central limit theorem.
