In my 40 years as a professional statistician, I have yet to come across any person with a coefficient skewness and I am not sure that such a thing exists. That being the case, it has no usefulness.

What is the values of the skewdness and kurtosis coefficient for the normal distribution 0 and 3 respectively?

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.


If mean is 8 median is 6 and standard deviation is 2 what is skewness?

Karl Pearson simplified the topic of skewness and gave us some formulas to help. The first is the Pearson mode or first skewness coefficient. It is defined by the (mean-median)/standard deviation. So in this case the Pearson mode is: (8-6)/2 =1 There is also the Pearson Median. This is also called second skewness coefficient. It is defined as 3(mean-median)/standard deviation which in this case is 6/2 =3 hence the distribution is positive skewed


What is coefficient of skewness in a variable concentration?

A measure of skewness is Pearson's Coefficient of Skew. It is defined as: Pearson's Coefficient = 3(mean - median)/ standard deviation The coefficient is positive when the median is less than the mean and in that case the tail of the distribution is skewed to the right (notionally the positive section of a cartesian frame). When the median is more than the mean, the cofficient is negative and the tail of the distribution is skewed in the left direction i.e. it is longer on the left side than on the right.

The Pearson's coefficient of skewness is a measure of distribution's symmetry?

It is a descriptive statistical measure used to measure the shape of the curve drawn from the frequency distribution or to measure the direction of variation. It is a measure of how far positively skewed (below the mean) or negatively skewed (above the mean) the majority (that's where the mode comes in) of the data lies. Useful when conducting a study using histograms. (mean - mode) / standard deviation. or [3(Mean-Median)]/Standard deviation
