Degree Of Skewness. The curve is Leptokurtic. Non-normally distributed with skewness of 187 SE 005 and kurtosis of 393 SE 010 Participants were 98 men and 132 women aged 17 to 25 years men.
For this data set the skewness is 108 and the kurtosis is 446 which indicates moderate skewness and kurtosis. Jan 25 2021 Skewness in statistics is the degree of asymmetry observed in a probability distribution. Skewness is used to measure asymmetry from the normal distribution in a data set meaning the degree to which the distribution is off-balanced around the mean.
Non-parametric tests Do not report means and standard deviations for non-parametric tests.
This explains why data skewed to the right has positive skewness. For this data set the skewness is 108 and the kurtosis is 446 which indicates moderate skewness and kurtosis. View chapter Purchase book. As we saw earlier the mean is.
