Which of the following are true for Skewness
A. It is a measure of symmetry of a frequency distribution.
B. For the right-skewed distribution, the mean is to be to the right of median.
C. For the right-skewed distribution, the mean is to be to the right of mode.
D. For the right-skewed distribution, the mean is to be to the left of median.
E. For the right-skewed distribution, the mean is to be to the left of mode.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Statements A, B, and C are true regarding skewness: skewness measures the lack of symmetry of a frequency distribution (A), and in a positively (right-skewed) distribution, the long tail extends to the right so that Mean > Median > Mode—meaning the mean lies to the right of the median (B) and to the right of the mode (C).
