Not every distribution fits one of these descriptions, but they are still a useful way to summarize the overall shape of many distributions. video https://cdn.kastatic.org/googleusercontent/HYkbs8CdV7CB6Vm22JbD4pg4WU2xJT8TMF5Vcu1KjfgHldv4o6hU7QA4PUF8HW-XqgilcwAHP_9K8OI4Z1Hvx_AKtg Classifying shapes of distributions When we describe shapes of distributions, we commonly use words like symmetric, left-skewed, right-skewed, bimodal, and uniform.

Some distributions are symmetrical, perfectly balanced on the left and right. Other distributions are unbalanced. We say they are “skewed” and have “tails."
