Definitions:

Interval Data

Data with meaningful amounts of difference between measurements but no true zero point, allowing for numerical operations like addition and subtraction.

Histograms

Graphical representations of data distribution where data is grouped into ranges and each range's frequency is represented by a column's height.

Positively Skewed

A positively skewed distribution is one where the tail on the right side of the distribution is longer or fatter than the left side, indicating that the mean and median are greater than the mode.

Negatively Skewed

describes a distribution where the tail is longer on the left side, indicating that the bulk of values are toward the higher end.
