Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A skewed distribution is one in which the majority of scores cluster at one end of the distribution, creating a tail that extends in the opposite direction. If the tail extends to the left, the distribution is negatively skewed, and if it extends to the right, the distribution is positively skewed. This is in contrast to a normal distribution, which is symmetrical and bell-shaped, and a bimodal distribution, which has two distinct peaks. Standard refers to a specific type of deviation from the mean.
