The database commonly uses an index range scan to access selective data. The selectivity is the percentage of rows in the table that the query selects, with 0 meaning no rows and 1 meaning all rows. Selectivity is tied to a query predicate, such as WHERE last_name LIKE 'A%', or a combination of predicates.
Types of Distribution: Intensive, Selective and Exclusive Distribution. Some of the important types of distribution in international market are 1. Intensive 2. Selective and 3. Exclusive distribution.
A distribution is said to be skewed when the data points cluster more toward one side of the scale than the other, creating a curve that is not symmetrical. In other words, the right and the left side of the distribution are shaped differently from each other. There are two types of skewed distributions. A distribution is positively skewed if the scores fall toward the lower side of the scale and there are very few higher scores. Positively skewed data is also referred to as skewed to the right because that is the direction of the 'long tail end' of the chart.
