15,467 people rated how much they liked my textbook on a scale of 1 (it is rubbish) to 10 (I love it). The distribution of scores had a skew of 1.23 (SE = 0.65). Which of the following would be the best way to decide whether the skew is problematic? (Hint: Think about what you know about the central limit theorem.)

With a sample size of 15,467, the central limit theorem suggests that the distribution of scores will be approximately normal, regardless of the skewness. Therefore, the skewness is not likely to be problematic and there is no need to conduct any additional tests or analyses.
