skewed

Examples of skewed in the following topics:

• Descriptive and Correlational Statistics

  • But when the three are unequal, the distribution can become positively or negatively skewed.
  • If the mean is greater than the median, and the median is greater than the mode, the distribution will be positively skewed.
  • However, if the mean is less than the median, and the median is less than the mode, then the distribution will be negatively skewed .
  • When the mean, median, and mode are unequal, the normal curve can become skewed in either a negative or positive direction depending on their values in relation to each other.

• Basic Descriptive Statistics

  • Another way to measure the variability of the data is through skewness.
  • If the mean is greater than the median, and the median is greater than the mode, the distribution will be positively skewed.
  • However, if the mean is less than the median, and the median is less than the mode, then the distribution will be negatively skewed.
  • When the mean, median, and mode are unequal, the normal curve can become skewed in either a negative or positive direction depending on their values in relation to each other.
  • In the left panel, showing negative skew, the mean is less than the median; in the right panel, showing positive skew, the mean is greater than the median.

• Personality Testing in the Workplace

  • A major criticism of many personality tests is that because they are sometimes based on narrow samples in which white, middle-class males are over-represented, they tend to skew test results toward this identity.

• Biases in Experimental Design: Validity, Reliability, and Other Issues

  • If there is a high saturation of a given political party in an area surveyed, then the results will be skewed in the direction of the political party, and not be representative of the general population.
