what does it mean if the distribution is skewed
Skewed Distribution Skewed distribution is a statistical term that measures âasymmetryâ (lack of similarity) in a âbell curveâ (the bell-shaped graph that occurs when plotting data based on normal meaured traits). In ânormal distributionâ there should be a roughly equal number of occurrences of a measured trait on both sides of the mid-point of the bell curve. The âskewnessâ (percent of difference) statistic measures how great a change there is in the number of trait occurrences on either side of the mid-point of the curve.
