Transforming Data – Apply It 1

  • Decide which transformation to use for the different type of data sets and analyze the results

In addition to transformations that make right-skew distributions more symmetric, there are transformations that can make left-skew distributions more symmetric.

When we square the number [latex]b[/latex], we get [latex]b^2 = b \cdot b[/latex].
For example: [latex]5^2 = 5 \cdot 5 = 25[/latex]
