Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cost of a plain McDonald's hamburger is unlikely to be skewed to the right by high values because there is a limit to how expensive a basic hamburger can be. In contrast, annual incomes, weekend gambling losses, and accident damage losses can all have extremely high values and thus are more likely to be skewed to the right.
