Question

using the skewed distribution rule, what is the distribution of sample variances when the population distribution is the following?
part (a) rectangular
-uniformally distributed
- positively skewed
- normally distributed
- evenly distributed
- negatively skewed

part (b) normally distributed
- evenly distributed
- negatively skewed
- positively skewed
- normally distributed
- uniformally distributed

part (c) positively skewed
- uniformally distributed
- normally distributed
- positively skewed
- evenly distributed
- negatively skewed

part (d) nonmodal
-evenly distributed
- uniformally distributed
- positively skewed
- negatively skewed
- normally distributed

part (e) multimodal
- uniformally distributed
- evenly distributed
- normally distributed
- negatively skewed
- positively skewed

part (f) negatively skewed
- Normally distributed
- evenly distributed
- positively skewed
- uniformally distributed
- negatively skewed

Explanation / Answer

The sampling distribution of sample variances is always positivey skewed regardless of the distribution of sccores in the population distribution.

part (a) rectangular
- positively skewed

part (b) normally distributed

- positively skewed

part (c) positively skewed

- positively skewed

part (d) nonmodal

- positively skewed

part (e) multimodal

- positively skewed

part (f) negatively skewed
- positively skewed
