Question

A histogram of 251 data points shows a definitely, negative skew. Choose the most correct description for how the relative frequency CDF will behave.

A histogram of 251 data points shows a definitely, negative skew. Choose the most correct description for how the relative frequency CDF will behave.

A. The CDF tends to accumulate quickly (a large jump at the beginning) and then gradually increases to its limit of 1 (or 100%). B.The CDF gradually increases at the beginning and then quickly accumulates (a large jump) to its limit of 1 (or 100%). C.The CDF tends to gradually increase at the beginning, have a large accumulation in the middle, and then gradually increases to its limit of 1 (or 100%). D.The CDF tends to accumulate quickly (a large jump at the beginning) and then gradually decreases to its limit of 1 (or 100%). E.The CDF evenly increases to its limit of 1 (or 100%).

Explanation / Answer

Correct option:

B. The CDF gradually increases at the beginning and then quickly accumulates (a large jump) to its limit of 1 (or 100%)

EXPLANATION:
In negative skew probability density functions, there is a bunching of the probability above the mean value and a long tail below.
