Distributions Flashcards
Definitions: most people or items are located in the middle area of the curve with very few people at the extreme ends.

Positive distribution
The mode is at the highest point of the peak, the median comes next, and then the mean is dragged more towards the tail.

The mean, median and mode all occupy the same midpoint of the curve. The tails, extending outwards, never touch the x-axis
