Question

Positive skew is created by which of the following?

a. A distribution in which the standard deviation is too large

b.  One or two low scores in a group of very high scores

c. One or two very high scores in a group of relatively low scores

d.  A distribution in which the standard deviation is too small

Answer 1

Answer)

Positive skew, also known as right skew

Is the distribution in which there is a tail on the right side

Or we can say that when the data values decreases, from high scores to low scores then, we have positive or right skewed data.

So, when we have one or two low scores in a group of high scores, then we have positive skewed data.
