Symmetry And Skewness In Statistics. Histogram c is symmetric it has about the same shape on each side. If the skewness of s is zero then the distribution represented by s is perfectly symmetric.
If the skewness is negative then the distribution is skewed to the left while if the skew is positive then the distribution is skewed to the right see figure 1 below for an. If the skewness of s is zero then the distribution represented by s is perfectly symmetric. Always add the direction when describing a skewed distribution.
Shape of the distribution.
A shape may be described by its symmetry skewness and or modality. Example 1 symmetric bell shaped distribution the bell curve below is perfectly symmetric because it can be divided into two halves a left half and a right half that are mirror imagesof each other. Learn about symmetry and skewness with respect to histograms boxplots and stemplots if you found this video helpful and like what we do you can directly s. If the skewness of s is zero then the distribution represented by s is perfectly symmetric.
