Shapes of Distributions

✔ Notes 1

The following histograms represent temperature patterns in certain cities. Notice how the overall shapes of the distributions vary.

Picture
This is an example of a skewed left distribution. Notice the outliers on the left side of the graph.
Picture
This is an example of a skewed right distribution. Notice the outliers on the right side of the graph.
Picture
This is an example of a normal distribution. Notice how the values gather towards the middle.
Picture
This is an example of a uniform distribution. Notice how each interval has approximately the same amount of values.

✔ Analysis 1

Determine if the following distribution is skewed left, skewed right, uniform, or normal.

​✔ Analysis 2

Determine if the following distribution is skewed left, skewed right, uniform, or normal.
Picture

✔ Analysis 3

Determine if the following distribution is skewed left, skewed right, uniform, or normal.

20 Women Making Waves

So here’s a list of twenty women making waves in the climate change debate, offered in alphabetical order, and without any men to get in the way. We hope it shows off some of the quiet – and not so quiet – power women do have on this issue, and the diversity of the debate. Gender aside, this list reflects other diversities of the climate debate, with expertise in financial systems, workers’ rights, science, politics, development, media, diplomacy and more.

Weather Patterns over History

It's easy to think that recent years are indicative of larger weather patterns - however, scientists must look at weather patterns as a whole throughout recorded history.
Weather Underground has an extensive data archive and weather history tool. Search the weather history of your hometown and look for patterns!
