To solve the data distributed in a symmetric distribution.
Answer to Problem 1E
A distribution is positively skewed if the scores fall toward the lower side of the scale and there are very few higher scores.
A distribution is negatively skewed if the scores fall toward the higher side of the scale and there are very few low scores.
Explanation of Solution
Given information: Data distributed in a symmetric distribution
Calculation:
A symmetric distribution is a type of distribution where the left side of the distribution mirrors the right side.
A distribution is said to be skewed when the data points cluster more toward one side of the scale than the other, creating a curve that is not symmetrical. In other words, the right and the left side of the distribution are shaped differently from each other.
A distribution is positively skewed if the scores fall toward the lower side of the scale and there are very few higher scores.
A distribution is negatively skewed if the scores fall toward the higher side of the scale and there are very few low scores.
