Term: Skewness

Description:

Skewness is a statistical measure that quantifies the asymmetry of a probability distribution. It indicates whether the data distribution is skewed to the left or to the right relative to a normal distribution.

Sample sentences:

1. The skewness of the dataset showed that the majority of the values were concentrated on the right side of the distribution.

2. The positively skewed distribution indicated that there were more extremely high values than extremely low values in the dataset.

3. Negative skewness implies that the tail of the distribution extends towards the left, which can be observed in this dataset.
