    Data Can Be "Distributed" (Spread Out) in Different Ways: More On The Right

    Uploaded by

    Data distributions can be symmetrical or skewed, with symmetrical distributions having mirror image halves and skewed distributions tilted either left or right. A distribution's kurtosis also influences its shape, with platykurtic distributions being flatter than normal, leptokurtic being more peaked, and normal distributions considered meso-kurtic.

    Data can be "distributed" (spread out) in different ways

    More on the Right

    More on the Left

    Skewness: The distribution of data may or may not be symmetrical. A distribution where the right half is the mirror image of the left half is said to be symmetrical If the distribution is not symmetrical it is said to be asymmetrical or skewed. Left Skewed : Negatively Skewed Right Skewed: Positively Skewed

    Kurtosis
    Kurtosis measures the amount of peaked-ness of a distribution. A flatter distribution than the normal distribution is called platy-kurtic. A more peaked distribution than normal distribution is called leptokurtic. the distribution which is normal in shape meso-kurtic distribution
