Denition A distribution of data is skewed if it is not symmetric and, instead, the bulk of values tend to fall on one side of the distribution with a \"longer tail\" on the other. Right- skewed distributions have their tail on the right, and left-skewed distributions have their tail on the left. With skewed data, we might prefer to measure the \"center\" of the distribution with the median rather than the mean. Denition The median is the middle data value when the data are sorted in order from smallest to largest. 5. The mean is found to be 4.295 letters, do you think the median is larger or smaller than 4.295? Briey explain your reasoning. lac. 6. Summarize the behavior of this population. Recall that when we have a quantitative variable, we should talk about shape, center (using the mean and/or the median), variability (using the standard deviation), and outliers, as well as making sure that we are making comments relevant to the context of the study
