Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A negatively skewed distribution (also called left-skewed distribution) occurs when the tail of the distribution is longer on the left-hand side and the peak is on the right-hand side. This means that more values are concentrated on the right side of the distribution, and the tail tapers off to the left, resulting in a longer left tail.
