Skewness:
- Skewness, in statistics, is the degree of asymmetry observed in a probability distribution
Explanation:
in the question Mean=36,
Median=32.5,
S.D.= 5
Now, Skewness= 3(mean-median)/S.D
= 3(36-32.5)/5
=3*3.5/5
=2.1.
Thus, the value of skewness will be 2.1.
Additional Information:
- Right skewness (also called positive skew). A right-skewed distribution is longer on the right side of its peak than on its left.
- Left skewness (also called negative skew). A left-skewed distribution is longer on the left side of its peak than on its right.
- Zero skewness.
