| Mar 4, 2020 at 2:55 | comment | added | Gerardo Furtado | @NickCox That's just an image I got from wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skewness), and despite being quite bad it's way better than most other images of a skewed distribution (online + copyright free). The important thing here is the principle, which remains true. | |
| Mar 3, 2020 at 12:30 | comment | added | Nick Cox | I like the principle. In the example given I don't think the position of the finger would work: the right tail is not long enough. Also, although many. many complications are possible it's not likely that mode, median, and mode are equally spaced for many distributions, even approximately. | |
