Skewed Distribution

What is Skewed Distribution?

A skewed distribution is characterized by its lack of symmetry around its center point. Typically, data in a skewed distribution clusters more heavily towards one end rather than being evenly distributed. Time-on-task data frequently exhibits skewness. Unlike normal distributions, skewed distributions are not symmetrical.

  • Identifying Data Trends: Skewed distributions indicate where data clusters, providing insights into common behaviors or occurrences within a dataset.
  • Applying Correct Analysis Techniques: Skewed distributions require specialized analytical approaches, ensuring accurate modeling and interpretation of data.
