one on the left is positively skewed. The one on the right is negatively skewed. Measure of Skewness: 1. Karl Pearson coefficient of Skewness Sk = 3(mean - median) / Standard Deviation. = 3(X –Me) / S 2. The skewness of a random variable X is denoted or skew(X). It is defined as: where and are the mean and standard deviation of X. Interpretation: 1. If Sk = 0‚ then the frequency distribution is normal and symmetrical. 2. If Sk 0‚ then the frequency distribution is positively skewed. 3. If Sk

A new weight-watching company‚ Weight Reducers International‚ advertises that those who join will lose‚ on the average‚ 10 pounds the first two weeks with a standard deviation of 2.8 pounds. A random sample of 50 people who joined the new weight reduction program revealed the mean loss to be 9 pounds. At the .05 level of significance‚ can we conclude that those joining Weight Reducers on average will lose less than

computing and understanding a measure of something‚ the average - or - the standard deviation? The Standard deviation is more useful for computing and understanding the measure of something. For example‚ if you know the standard deviation of a test given to a group of students is 5 and the average is 80‚ this tells you much more information than just having the average score. If on the other hand the standard deviation is 20 and the average is still 80‚ this tells yet another story. 2. Why
