    Skewness and Kurtosis Original

    Uploaded by

    Grace D. Reyes
    This document discusses measures of variation in data distributions, including skewness and kurtosis. It defines symmetrical and skewed distributions, and explains how to calculate the Pearson coefficient of skewness to quantify the degree of skew. Positive skew indicates a long right tail, while negative skew has a long left tail. Kurtosis measures the peakedness of a distribution, with leptokurtic distributions having very peaked curves and platykurtic having flat curves. Formulas are provided for calculating kurtosis from ungrouped data. Examples are given to demonstrate calculating skewness and kurtosis coefficients.

    SKEWNESS AND KURTOSIS Presented by:

    Grace D. Reyes
    MEASURES OF VARIATION, SKEWNESS
    AND KURTOSIS
    WHAT TO DISCUSS:

    • SYMMETRICAL DISTRIBUTION

    • SKEWED DISTRIBUTION

    • PEARSON’S COEFFICIENT OF SKEWNESS

    • KURTOSIS

    • HOW TO FIND THE MEASURE OF KURTOSIS


    FOR UNGROUPED DATA
    SYMMETRICAL DISTRIBUTION
    SYMMETRICAL DISTRIBUTION

    • A frequency distribution is said to


    be symmetrical if the frequencies
    are equally distributed on both
    the sides of central value

    • A symmetrical distribution may


    be either bell-shaped or U-
    shaped.

    • In symmetrical distribution, the


    values of mean, median and
    mode are equal i.e.,
    Mean=Median=Mode
    SKEWED DISTRIBUTION
    SKEWED DISTRIBUTION

    • Skewness is used to measure


    the level of asymmetry in our
    data. It is the measure of
    asymmetry that occurs when
    our data deviates from the
    norm.

    • A skewed distribution may be -


    POSITIVE SKEWED
    NEGATIVE SKEWED
    SKEWED DISTRIBUTION

    NEGATIVELY SKEWED POSITIVELY SKEWED

    • The distribution is skewed to the left • The distribution is skewed to the right
    • Mode exceeds Mean and Median • Mean exceeds Mode and Median
    • Long tail to the left (lower values) • Long tail to the right (higher values)
    has a negative skew has a positive skew
    GRAPHICAL MEASURE OF SKEWNESS
    • Measure of skewness help us to know to what degree and in which direction (positive or negative)
    the frequency distribution has a departure from symmetry.

    • Positive or negative skewness can be detected graphically depending on whether the right tail or
    the left tail is longer.

    Symmetrical distribution
    Take note:
    PEARSON COEFFICIENT OF SKEWNESS

    • When the distribution is


    • This method is most frequently used for measuring skewness. symmetrical, the coefficient is
    zero.
    The formula for measuring coefficient of skewness:

    • When the distribution is


    positively skewed, the
    coefficient is positive.

    • When the distribution is


    negatively skewed, the
    coefficient is negative.
    EXAMPLE #1

    • Find the coefficient of skewness of a distribution with mean 12,


    median 9 and standard deviation 2.

    KURTOSIS
    KURTOSIS

    • Kurtosis is another measure of the


    shape of a frequency curve.

    •  Kurtosis (from Greek: κυρτός, kyrtos


    or kurtos, meaning "curved, arching")
    is a measure of the "tailedness" of
    the probability distribution of a real-
    valued random variable.

    • While skewness signifies the extent


    of asymmetry, Kurtosis measures
    the degree of peakness of a
    frequency distribution.
    KURTOSIS

    • When the peak of the curve


    becomes relatively high then that
    curve is called Leptokurtic.

    •  When the curve is flat-topped,


    then it is called Platykurtic.

    • The normal curve is Mesokurtic.
