A distribution with positive skewness is said to be positively skewed or right-skewed, which means it has a long tail in the positive direction on the number line.

Discrete random variables are variables that can only take on a countable number of values, such as integers, while continuous random variables can take on any value within a certain range or interval.

The median is preferred over the mean when our data is skewed or has outliers. Outliers can greatly affect the mean and create a distorted view of the data, but the median is not affected by outliers or skewed data. The median is the middle score for a set of data that has been arranged in order of magnitude, making it a better measure when dealing with skewed distributions.

The assumption of IID residuals is important because it ensures that standard errors, confidence intervals, and hypothesis tests are valid. If this assumption is violated, these statistics may be incorrect, leading to misleading results.

The 'whiskers' in a box plot represent the range of the data. The upper whisker extends to the maximum data value or up to 1.5 times the interquartile range (IQR), while the lower whisker extends to the minimum data value or up to 1.5 times the IQR. Any data points beyond the whiskers can be considered outliers.

The probability of an impossible event is 0. In the probability scale, 0 denotes impossibility, while 1 denotes certainty. An event with a probability of 0 is said to be impossible because it cannot happen.

The cumulative distribution function (CDF) of a random variable is the probability that the variable takes a value less than or equal to a certain value. The CDF of a function increases monotonically, and its limit is one as it approaches positive infinity.

In a skewed distribution, the mean tends to get pulled in the direction of the skew. Since the mean involves every value in the distribution, extreme values (values far from the others) have a big influence. This results in skewness where the mean is drawn towards the tail, and is a common occurrence in distributions that are not symmetric.

The 68-95-99.7 rule, also known as the empirical rule, states that for a normal distribution, 68% of the data fall within one standard deviation of the mean, 95% fall within two standard deviations, and 99.7% fall within three standard deviations. This rule provides a quick estimate of the probability of a certain event within the distribution.

ANOVA stands for Analysis Of Variance. It's a statistical technique used to check if the means of two or more groups are significantly different from each other.
