www.itl.nist.gov › refman2 › auxillarDec 14, 2014 · Skewness measures the lack of symmetry in a variable. The formula for the Fisher-Pearson skewness coefficient is: where , s, and n are the sample mean, the sample standard deviation, and the sample size, respectively. Note that in computing the skewness, the standard deviation is computed using n in the denominator rather than n - 1.

Pearson's Coefficient of Skewness - Statistics How To
www.statisticshowto.com › pearsonsFeb 06, 2014 · Pearson’s Coefficient of Skewness #2 (Median): Step 1: Subtract the median from the mean: 70.5 – 80 = -9.5. Step 2: Multiply Step 1 by 3: -9.5(3) = -28.5 Step 2: Divide by the standard deviation: -28.5 / 19.33 = -1.47. Caution: Pearson’s first coefficient of skewness uses the mode. Therefore, if the mode is made up of too few pieces of ...
