About the lecture

In this lecture, we think about data distributions, focusing in particular on: i) normal (or Gaussian) and skewed distributions; ii) the distribution of standard deviations from the mean inside a normally distributed dataset; iii) differentiating and identifying leftward and rightward skewed datasets, as well as providing an example of a dataset which might result in each distribution.
