II. Give a brief interpretation on the data set. (5 points)

For the Pearson’s first coefficient of skewness (mode), the data are fairly symmetrical because the date is 0.02 which is in
between of -0.5 to 0.5. On the second coefficient of skewness (median), the data are fairly symmetrical also because the data is
0.05 which is in between of -0.5 to 0.5. For the Kurtosis, the data is fall under the platykurtic because the coefficient of kurtosis is
2.41 which is less than 3.
