Normal Distribution
the arrangement of data values that cluster around the middle of the data values where the mean is located; depicted by a bell curve
negatively skewed
the characteristic of a frequency distribution in which the bulk of the data is to the right and the tail points to the left; the mode is always the highest point, the median is pulled to the left, and the mean is pulled to the left by outliers
positively skewed
the characteristic of a frequency distribution in which the bulk of the data is to the left and the tail points to the right; the mode is the highest point, the median is between the mean and mode, and the mean is pulled to the right by outliers
standard deviation
the distance of the values in a data set from the mean of all values in the data set
small deviation
the condition in which data values are all squished closer to the mean
large deviation
the condition in which data values are more spread out away from the mean
z-scores
the measure of the distance of a score from the mean in units of standard deviation
