Skewness of a probability distribution is a measure of its asymmetry; the higher the (absolute value of the) skewness, the more asymmetric the distribution.ย  Symmetric distributions have skewness of zero.ย  The formula for the skewness of a sample is: \[skewness\ =\ \frac{n}{\left(n\ -\ 1\right)\left(n\ -\ 2\right)}\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n \left(X_i\ โ€“\ \bar X\right)^3}{s^3}\ โ‰ˆ\ \frac1n\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n \left(X_i\ โ€“\ \bar […]
