thanks to Mr skhovijich, now i will never forget it

[@StopWhining491]

I've needed something like this to make sense of skewness. Histograms just never made sense.

[@llauryn]

You are amazing 👏 👏👏👏

[@MichaelBritt_ThePsychFiles]

Thank you! This concept of pos and neg skew always confused my students, so I hope this mnemonic helps you on your next test!

Hey man. How do you know if a distribution is negatively or positvely skewed from the first look?

[@MichaelBritt_ThePsychFiles]

+John Constantine The term "skew" refers to the look of the distribution. There are exact measures of skewness, but multiple choice tests typically just have an image of a skewed distribution and asks which direction the skew is in. The "skew" part is the skinny part of the distribution.
