PSYB07H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Kurtosis, Normal Distribution, Mode 9
Document Summary
Bell curve: an average in which the majority achieves (normalizing the data), data can have two extremes presented in graph so bell curve gives the balance. The peaks can be same height or different. Uniform peaks (no peak or one big peak) The body of the data is shifted to one side. One of the tails is longer than the other. The tail is longer on the right side, and the body is shifted to the left. The tail is longer on the left side, and the body is shifted to the right. Focusing on the body of the of the distribution is distribution. The average distribution, the body is kind of close to being flat as well as the tails. Normal distribution, the body and tails are fitted together. Centered distribution, the body is tall and the tails are long. Data that occurred most (calculation) often (description) Major mode (4, 6, 7) minor mode (12)
