  • Distribution Curves
    • Why do we use it?
      • Allow us to analyse and make conclusions about our data
        • Plotted to represent the Mean and the Standard Deviation
        • Show us where most data sits?
    • Positive Skew
      • When data sits to the left of the graph
      • Shows the Mode is a lower number than the Mean
    • Negative Skew
      • When data sits to the right of the graph
      • Shows the Mode is a higher number than the Mean
    • Bell Curve
      • When data is normally distributed throughout the graph
      • When the Mean, Median and Mode are in line with one another
