Normal distribution
Uniform distribution
ExplanationA right-skewed (positively skewed) distribution has a tail on the right side where higher values are less frequent.
The data points are clustered near the mean
The data points are spread out over a wide range of values
The mean is equal to the median
The distribution is perfectly normal
ExplanationStandard deviation measures the dispersion of a dataset; a higher value means the data is more spread out from the mean.
A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)
A = P(1 + r)^t
A = P + (P * r * t)
A = P / (1 + r)^t
ExplanationFor annual compounding, the formula is Principal times (1 plus the rate) raised to the power of the number of years.
Median
Mode
Mean
Range
