What are some real life examples that have a distribution skewed to the right?

Solution

A distribution is said to be skewed when the data points cluster more toward one side of the scale than the other, creating a curve that is not symmetrical. In other words, the right and the left side of the distribution are shaped differently from each other. There are two types of skewed distributions.

A distribution is positively skewed(Skewed to the right) if the scores fall toward the lower side of the scale and there are very few higher scores. Positively skewed data is also referred to as skewed to the right because that is the direction of the \'long tail end\' of the chart.

Let\'s create a chart using the yearly income data that we collected from the MBA graduates. You can see that most of the graduates reported annual income between $31,000 and $70,000. You can see that there are very few graduates that make more than $70,000. The yearly income for MBA graduates is positively skewed, and the \'long tail end\' of the chart points to the right.
