Distribution : Symmetric and Skewed
Symmetric and Skewed distribution of Data:
Symmetric Distribution:
- When Mean, Median and Mode are at the same centre values, them we call it is symmetric distribution of data. This is also called Normal distribution.
- Symmetric means, one half of the distribution is the mirror image of the other.
- Symmetric distribution is the easiest distribution to understand the distribution and apply the several statistical technique.
Symmetric Distribution
Skewed Distribution:
- In real world, data are not distributed symmetrical. They are skewed in either side of the centre.
- Skewness is the measure of the distribution of data around the mean.
- Left skewed or Negative skewed:
- Right skewed or Positive skewed:
Positive Skewed Distribution
