Skewed Right Graph

Definition

A skewed right graph, also known as positively skewed graph, is a distribution where most of the data points are concentrated on lower values with few extreme higher values. It has a long tail on its right side.

Analogy

Imagine you're at a concert where most people have bought cheap tickets near the back but only a few lucky ones got expensive front-row seats. The skewed right graph would represent this situation because there are more people towards the back (lower values) and only a few towards the front (higher values).

Symmetric Distribution: A symmetric distribution occurs when data points are evenly distributed around their mean value without any skewness to either side.

Outliers: Outliers are extreme values that significantly differ from the rest of the data points in a dataset. They can affect the shape and interpretation of a distribution.
