Determining Skewness In Ogive Graphs

I help you identify left skewness, right skewness, and bell curves in an Ogive graph. At 6:40 I said "this is left skewed"- that is incorrect. Skewness is determined by the direction of the tail. In the histogram, the tail tapers off to the right, so it is right skewed.

The last example at the end of the video is left skewed:).

[@profrobbob]

Absolutely correct! Adding an annotation now:)

[@profrobbob]

Yes...thanks, I added an annotation there:)

[@sarah350711]

Thanks for the help on explaining skewness on an ogive!

[@profrobbob]

Since I only teach AP Stats which should be a first semester course in college, I will not question your statement:) This is what is stated in the books I have taught from though.

[@profrobbob]

[@chalisesurendra2785]

i think it is a right skewed data. isn't it?

[@dan131m]

1:00 isn't actually correct -- it's just a rule of thumb for certain commonly encountered distributions.

[@dannyhuang8773]

You don't know if median is 3. o.O It could be a 2.
