Binomial distribution is negatively skewed when:__________________?
Correct answer: B. p>1/2
- A. p=0
- B. p>1/2
- C. p=1/2
- D. p=1/3
Explanation
A binomial distribution is negatively skewed when successes are more likely than failures, so p > 0.5. When p = 0.5 it is symmetric, while p < 0.5 produces positive skewness.
