Explanation Given: The Exam scores of 100 students when 40 students got an A, 25 students got a B, 20 students got a C and assumed that rest 15 students got D or below grade. In a Distribution there can be one, two or multiple peaks. Uni-Modal: If there is only one peak in the distribution then it is Uni-Modal. Bi-Modal: If there are two peaks in the distribution then it is Bi-Modal. Multi-Modal: If there are more than two peaks in the distribution then it is Multi-Modal. Here there can be some major peaks and some minor peaks. Any distribution in which the left half is mirror image of the right half then we can say that the distribution is Symmetric. If the distribution is not Symmetric then the values must be spread out on one side or the other. These distributions are known as skewed distributions. Left Skewed: A distribution in which most of the values are spread out on the left side then we call the distribution to be left-skewed. Right Skewed: A distribution in which most of the values are spread out on the right side then we call the distribution to be right-skewed. The variation of the distribution tells us that how widely the data is spread out about the centre of the distribution...

Inverse Normal Distribution

The method used for finding the corresponding z-critical value in a normal distribution using the known probability is said to be an inverse normal distribution. The inverse normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution with a family of tw…

It is a descriptive summary of a data set. It can be defined by using some of the measures. The central tendencies do not provide information regarding individual data from the dataset. However, they give a summary of the data set. The central tendency o…

Z-Scores

A z-score is a unit of measurement used in statistics to describe the position of a raw score in terms of its distance from the mean, measured with reference to standard deviation from the mean. Z-scores are useful in statistics because they allow compar…
