Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In a positively skewed distribution, the students are?
A
Very good
B
Very poor
C
Average
D
Normally distributed
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In a positively skewed distribution, the mean is greater than the median as the data is more towards the lower side and the mean average of all the values. In contrast, the median is the middle value of the data. So, if the data is more bent towards the lower side, the average will be more than the middle value.

Detailed explanation-2: -When representing students’ scores on a graph, the scores often will be positively or negatively skewed. When the distribution is positively skewed, that implies that the most frequent scores (the mode) and the median are below the mean. If your test is very difficult, there may be many low scores and few high ones.

Detailed explanation-3: -Skewness tells us the direction of outliers. In a positive skew, the tail of a distribution curve is longer on the right side. This means the outliers of the distribution curve are further out towards the right and closer to the mean on the left.

Detailed explanation-4: -A positive skew could be good or bad, depending on the mean. A positive mean with a positive skew is good, while a negative mean with a positive skew is not good.
