A lopsided distribution of scores in which the mean is much larger than both the mode and median is said to be skewed. This is because the distribution is not symmetrical around the mean and is skewed towards the larger values. Option A is incorrect because statistical significance refers to the likelihood of the results occurring by chance. Option B is incorrect because extrapolation is the process of estimating values beyond the observed range of data. Option C is incorrect because standard deviation is a measure of the spread of data around the mean.
