distributions

Question 1

normal distribution

Answer 1

Most people fall somewhere in the middle of the possible scores.
Bell-shaped curve, symmetrical, the mean median and mode all fall on the same central point (highest peak), two tails never touch the horizontal axis.

Question 2

negative skewed distribution

Answer 2

Left skewed, most get high scores and few get low scores - most of the scores are bunched towards the right. The mode is to the right of the mean because the mean is affected by the extreme scores tailing off to the left.
MODE = LARGEST

Question 3

positive skewed distribution

Answer 3

Right skewed, most get low scores and few get high scores - most of the scores are bunched towards the left. The mode is to the left of the mean, because the mean is affected by the extreme scores tailing off to the right.
MODE = SMALLEST
