Question

For the population of adult women in a city, which data would be more likely to have a skewed distribution: height or income? Would you predict that data set to be positively or negatively skewed? Explain your answers.

Answer 1

Income levels would most likely have a skewed distribution as most women make near a certain amount. I would predict the data to be positively skewed, because generally women living in the busy city tend to have high paying or middle income jobs. Hope this helped :)
