Skeweness : refers to asymmetry in a graph. Direction of skewness can be determine through the 'long tail' in a distribution.
Central tendency can also help to determine the skewness of a graph.
▪️Symmetrical : Mean = median. Mean determines the balance point while the median detrrmine the symmetry sinceits the middle point. 2:49
▪️ Skewed to the left : mean < median. Mean is closer to left side of distribution 3:41
▪️ Skewed to right: mean> median. Mean is closer to right side of distribution 3:49

A brief message to let you know that your Statistics 1 videos are awesome! So easy to learn with all of them. Thanks so much!

Teacher: Define skewed

Thank you! I see by the comments, that I am not the only one that struggles with this. I am in a Statistics course, it will great when things adhere to my brain. 😄

It could not be explained more beautifully or simply! Thank you once again.

[illlanoize]

Thank you for making this so easy. I’ll have to watch a few times since it seems inherently tricky but itll stick eventually

[dragnar]

Amazing video. It not just taught how to read skewness in boxplot, but also cleared the miss conception that median and mean are not always same.

[puneetsharma]

What a simple and easy way to explain this tricky concept. Thank you.

[owe_m]

Straight forward and precise
Loved the video

greetings from Australia ! Thankyou so much.

This is conceptually very good already it would be nice if the author also discuss transformations in one of the videos say like common transformations include square, cube root and logarithmic and why we need to improve this kind of skew in real world data processing

[affansiddhiqui]

So simplistic and easy thanks for the effort !

[sebooz]

greetings from Turkey! I love your simple explanations!

The graphics are so clean to look at. It lessen the stress, Statistics gave.

what a great explainer. way better than these so called "stats" channels

[sobahlemaseko]

I'm full of hope now, 😭thank you so much.
