Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The frequency distribution of a research data which is symmetrical in shape similar to a normal distribution but center peak is much higher, is
A
Skewed
B
Platykurtic
C
Leptokurtic
D
Mesokurtic
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The normal distribution, also known as a Gaussian distribution or “bell curve” is the most common frequency distribution. This distribution is symmetrical, with most values falling towards the center and long tails to the left and right.

Detailed explanation-2: -What Is Leptokurtic? Leptokurtic distributions are statistical distributions with kurtosis greater than three. It can be described as having a wider or flatter shape with fatter tails resulting in a greater chance of extreme positive or negative events. It is one of three major categories found in kurtosis analysis.

Detailed explanation-3: -A symmetry distribution ( normal distribution) resembles a bell-shape where the left portion of the distribution is equal to the right portion of the distribution. In addition, when the distribution is symmetric/unimodal, the mean, median, and mode are the same and are at the center of the distribution.

Detailed explanation-4: -Platykurtic distributions are thin-tailed, meaning that they have few outliers. Leptokurtosis: A positive excess kurtosis. Leptokurtic distributions are fat-tailed, meaning that they have many outliers.

Detailed explanation-5: -Frequency distribution is an organized tabulation/graphical representation of the number of individuals in each category on the scale of measurement. [1] It allows the researcher to have a glance at the entire data conveniently.
