While he understands why some may have trouble sympathizing with a three-time drug offender, Tyler offers perspective. A life sentence, people don't really understand it. A man raped his daughter, got probation. A man killed people with his car, got probation.
A skewed left distribution is one in which the tail is on the left side. The above histogram is for a distribution that is skewed right. Skewed distributions bring a certain philosophical complexity to the very process of estimating a typical value for the distribution.
1 When a distribution is skewed to the right (blue dotted curve), the tail on the curve's right-hand side is longer than the tail on the left-hand side, and the mean is greater than the mode. 2  This situation is also called positive skewness.kewness can be quantified to define the extent to which a distribution differs from a normal distribution. In a normal distribution, the graph appears as a classical, symmetrical bell-shaped curve.. The mean, or average, and the mode, or maximum point on the curve, are equal.
