I've needed something like this to make sense of skewness. Histograms just never made sense.

Thanks! Yea, a fun little mnemonic isn't it? I actually used it a few months ago when I was covering skew. Thanks for the comment.

It will! That's all skew is. We all tend to focus on the higher part of a curve - but it's the smaller side of the curve that is the "skew". Go for it.

Hey man. How do you know if a distribution is negatively or positvely skewed from the first look?

@MichaelBritt_ThePsychFiles 9 жыл бұрын

+John Constantine The term "skew" refers to the look of the distribution. There are exact measures of skewness, but multiple choice tests typically just have an image of a skewed distribution and asks which direction the skew is in. The "skew" part is the skinny part of the distribution.
