Re: Normal Distribution
Hi;
The Quincunx is nice! It is easy to understand so you are done.
About the skewed data, left and right skewed have a strange meaning. Left skewed means the tail is on the left, yours shows it the other way around.
I do not why it is like that in statistics, to me your viewpoint is more intuitive but

A quick fix is change the word skewed to bunched. Which is probably better for what you are trying to show.

Re: Normal Distribution
Hi;
Or batched ( batched? ), bunchy ( bunchy?) grouped, collected, condensed, conglomerated, amalgamated, aggregated, concentrated...
Better stick with bunched.

Re: Normal Distribution
Hi robinsonov;
Please start your own thread from now on in "Help Me" that way you will get faster help.
Here is how I do it. Start with the obvious fraction.
Now you have to get a whole number over another whole number.
If you moved the decimal point in 1.0021 four places to the right
you would have 10021 Whatever you do to the top of the fraction you have to do to the bottom. So
You can now make sure that it is in lowest terms.

Re: Normal Distribution
Hi;
For the second one you have to use a trick.
1:201 =? I am assuming you mean 1.20101010101...
1.2 = 6 / 5 so
Let's work with the .0010101010...
Say:
Multiply both sides by 1000.
The .01010101010... is just 10 x.
Solve for x.
So that is your answer.
I leave the checking to you.

Hi robinsonov;
Your welcome. I thought the second question is a little bit passed where you are. Or maybe I am missing something obvious, anyway that is how I do it.
