A statistic teacher reminds students: "Skew is named for where the tail goes, not where the bulk is."
A distribution where most values cluster on the right with a long tail to the left is:
- A
Skewed right
- Bcheck_circle
Skewed left
- C
Bimodal
- D
Symmetric
Explanation
Skewness names the direction of the tail. A long tail to the left = skewed left (negatively skewed).
