SKEWNESS
•Distributions (aggregations of observations) can be spread evenly around both sides of the central tendency, like so:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
1
2
3
4
5
Such distributions are considered symmetrical with no skew.

SKEWNESS
•As scores are weighted and distribute unevenly around the median, the mean is “pulled” toward the extreme outlier and it diverges away from the median.

SKEWNESS
• When the outlying scores are on the higher end of the scale the distribution becomes positively skewed.

kurtosis
• Distributions of data and probability distributions are not all the same shape. Some are asymmetric and skewed to the left or to the right. Many times, there are two values that dominate the distribution of values.
Kurtosis is the measure of the peak of a distribution, and indicates how high the distribution is around the mean.

Types of kurtosis
MesokurticA distribution identical to the normal distribution
Leptokurtic
A distribution that is more peaked than normal
Platykurtic
A distribution that is less peaked than normal

Formulae: kurtosis
•Moment coefficient of kurtosis One measure of kurtosis uses the fourth moment about fourth power of standard deviation in dimensionless form:
