refers to the general shape of a distribution of scores when graphed as a frequency polygon There is zero skew when the shape of the distribution is symmetrical It is skewed when most of the scores are at one end of the distribution and very few are at the other end The tails of distributions are the areas at the extreme high or low end where the data tapers off to zero -- where the graph approaches the abscissa The skew is positive when the tail points in the positive direction and negative when it is pointing in the negative direction
