Data that is weighted toward one end of the numerical range in which it occurs is:
  1. Diverse
  2. Peaked
  3. Overweight
  4. Skewed
Explanation
Answer: D - Data that is asymmetrically concentrated at one end of a numerical range is skewed. This may be the result of faulty data collection (such as a poor poll or survey) or may be a completely natural phenomenon. A skewed graph or data set is not necessarily an indication of fault, flaw or wrongdoing, but may merely demonstrate a disproportionate relationship.
