Negatively Skewed Distribution, Population, Frequency Distribution Graph, Distribution
The key terms used in these Statistic chapters include Negatively Skewed Distribution & Positively Skewed Distribution, Frequency Distribution Graph, Distribution, Population & Sample The Statistic Exam is based on these chapters.
In a population of N = 10 scores, the smallest score is X = 8 and the largest score is X = 20. The range for the population is ____. (the data are discrete; and there is no need to use real limits)

In a positively skewed distribution, the scores pile up on the left side of the distribution and taper off to the right.
True
A histogram is constructed so that adjacent bars touch.
