Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFFrequency distribution, in statistics, a graph or data set organized to show the frequency of occurrence of each possible outcome of a repeatable event observed many times.
Normal Distribution:
- The normal distribution, also known as a Gaussian distribution or “bell curve” is the most common frequency distribution.
- This distribution is symmetrical, with most values falling towards the center and long tails to the left and right.
- It is a continuous distribution, with no gaps between values.
Skewed Distribution:
- A left-skewed distribution has a long left tail.
- Left-skewed distributions are also called negatively-skewed distributions. That’s because there is a long tail in the negative direction on the number line.
- The mean is also to the left of the peak.
- A right-skewed distribution has a long right tail.
- Right-skewed distributions are also called positive-skew distributions. That’s because there is a long tail in the positive direction on the number line.
- The mean is also to the right of the peak.
Hence, In a negatively skewed distribution, the position of the Mean with reference to the Median is Left of the median.
