When we increase sample size the standard deviation( error) will be decrease and the nagetive skewness is converting to normality. shabirahmad666@rocketmail.com

if coefficient of skewness is zero then distribution is symmetric or zero skewed.
Skewness is a measure of the asymmetry in a distribution. In a non-symmetrical distribution, skewness can be calculated using a formula that considers the deviation of each data point from the mean. A positive skewness indicates a longer tail on the right side of the distribution, while a negative skewness indicates a longer tail on the left side.

Negative skewness means the average (mean) will be less than the median. Positive skewness means the opposite. I'm not sure if any rule holds for the mode.
The word skewness means the measure of a random variable, which can be positive, negative or undefined. Quite often you may hear that someone has "skewed the numbers".
A positive skewness is when the value of mean is greater than the mode. that is, the curve is more skewed at the right hand side or the right tail is longer than the left tail. The negative skewness is when the mean is smaller than the mode, and in this case the curve is more skewed on the left hand side.
The skewness of a random variable X is the third standardised moment of the distribution. If the mean of the distribution is m and the standard deviation is s, then the skewness, g1 = E[{(X - m)/s}3] where E is the expected value. Skewness is a measure of the degree to which data tend to be on one side of the mean or the other. A skewness of zero indicates symmetry. Positive skewness indicates there are more values that are below the mean but the the ones that are above the mean, although fewer, are substantially bigger. Negative skewness is defined analogously.

No. Skewness is 0, but kurtosis is -3, not 3.No. Skewness is 0, but kurtosis is -3, not 3.No. Skewness is 0, but kurtosis is -3, not 3.No. Skewness is 0, but kurtosis is -3, not 3.
The coefficient of skewness is a measure of asymmetry in a statistical distribution. It indicates whether the data is skewed to the left, right, or is symmetric. The formula for calculating the coefficient of skewness is [(Mean - Mode) / Standard Deviation]. A positive value indicates right skew, a negative value indicates left skew, and a value of zero indicates a symmetric distribution.
