Question

Which statistic represents the lowest score in a negatively skewed distribution?

Answer 1

The lowest score of a negatively skewed distribution is the mean.

A distribution can be symmetrical, negatively skewed or positively skewed.

For a symmetrical distribution, the mean, the median and the mode are all equal.

For a negatively skewed distribution, the mean is the lowest value, followed by the median and then the mode is the highest value.

For a positively skewed distribution, the mean is the highest value, followed by the median and the the mode is the lowest value.
