    Cards (2)

    • Normal distributions 

      shows how the data is spread around the mean.
      It has the classic bell-shaoed curve
      If data is normally distributed then scores will be clustrerd around the mean.
    • Skewed distributions 

      There are outliers/anomalies in the data.
      An extreme low score will result in a negative skew of normal bell shaped curve and extreme high scores will result in a positive skew of the normal bell shaped curve.
