Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A transformation to the data can help reduce the skewness, making the distribution more symmetrical or normal. Therefore, option C, the skew will have been reduced, is the expected effect of the transformation. Option A is incorrect as significance cannot be increased by transformation alone. Option B is incorrect as transformation can increase or decrease the skewness depending on the type of transformation applied. Option D is incorrect as C is the correct answer.
