I agree, positively skewed makes the most sense.

Wait, is "inversely skewed" even a real term?
MA
Maira

Definitely not symmetric, that's for sure.
GA
Gail

Not so sure about that, could be negatively skewed too!
OL
Oliva

Looks like it's positively skewed!
SA

I feel like I might be overthinking this. I remember that inversely skewed isn't a standard term, so I would rule out option D right away.

I'm a bit confused about the terms. I remember negatively skewed means the tail is on the left, but I can't visualize it here.
DE
Derick

I practiced a similar question last week, and I think symmetric means the data is evenly distributed. So, I might lean towards option B.
AU
Audry

I think the data looks positively skewed, but I'm not entirely sure. I remember something about the tail being longer on one side.

The distribution looks a bit asymmetric, but I'm not confident enough to say it's positively or negatively skewed. I'll review my notes on skewness and try to reason this through step-by-step.

This is tricky. The histogram doesn't look perfectly symmetric, but I'm not sure if it's enough to call it skewed. I might have to do some calculations to be sure. Better not to guess on this one.

Okay, let me visualize this. If the data is skewed, the mean will be pulled in the direction of the skew. So I need to look at the relative positions of the mean, median, and mode to determine the skewness. I think I've got this!
HU

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. The distribution looks a bit lopsided, but I can't quite tell if it's positively or negatively skewed. I'll have to think this through carefully.
NI
Nicolette

This looks straightforward - the data is clearly skewed to the right, so I'll go with A. Positively skewed.
DE
Deonna

If this data was any more positively skewed, it would be doing a handstand. Option A all the way!
TH
Thad

Positively skewed for sure, that data is all bunched up on the left side.
BL
Blondell

I would go with option A as well, it's clearly not symmetric.
RE
Rebbeca

Yeah, the data is leaning heavily to the right.
GR
Gregoria

I agree, it's definitely positively skewed.
HE
Herman

Inversely skewed? What kind of sorcery is that? I'm sticking with C - negatively skewed.
ES
Essie

User3: I'm not sure, but I'll go with B - symmetric.
LI
Linn

User2: I'm going with C - negatively skewed.
EM
Emelda

User1: I think it's positively skewed.
JA
Jacob
1 year ago
I believe it is positively skewed because the tail is on the right side.
FR
Franklyn

Nah, this is definitely symmetric. The distribution is perfectly bell-shaped.
TI
Tijuana

User 2: Nah, this is definitely symmetric. The distribution is perfectly bell-shaped.
KI
King

User 1: I think it's positively skewed.
AN
Angella

I think it's negatively skewed. The tail on the left side is longer than the one on the right.
TA
Tawanna

User 3: Yes, it looks like a negatively skewed distribution.
RO
Rory

User 2: I agree, the tail on the left side is longer than the one on the right.
KA

User 1: I think it's negatively skewed.
AR

I'm not sure, but I think it might be negatively skewed.
AU
Audra

I agree with Pamella, the data looks skewed to the right.
MA
Mabel

The data looks positively skewed to me. The histogram is clearly leaning to the right.
VA
Valentin

The shape of the data does indicate a positive skewness.
TY
Tyra

I think it's safe to say that the histogram shows a clear right skew.
WI
Willow

Yes, I agree. The data is definitely positively skewed.
PA
Pamella

I think the data is positively skewed.
