Question

A distribution of scores that is positively skewed will have a small number of scores that:

A are clustered around the midpoint.
B are all the same.
C are very high.
D are very low.

Answer 1

A distribution of scores that is positively skewed will have a small number of scores that are very high.

Option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

A distribution is said to be normal if the value of skewness is equal to zero, this type of distribution is symmetric.

However, if the skewness value is less than zero, then the distribution is negatively skewed and if the skewness value is greater than zero then the distribution is positively skewed.

For a positively skewed distribution, the tail is elongated downward, and the mean value is greater compared with median and mode. Hence, the observations are extremely high and the mean is distributed upward.
