Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The three features of a distribution's shape are central tendency, variability, and skewness. Central tendency refers to the measure of the center of the distribution (mean, median or mode), variability refers to how scattered the data is around the center (range, variance, standard deviation), and skewness refers to the asymmetry of the distribution. Option A includes compression, which is not a feature of a distribution's shape. Option B includes frequency, which is a measure of how often a value occurs, but it does not describe the shape of the distribution. Option D includes only measures of central tendency.
