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.

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.

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).


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?
