Symmetry And Skewness In Statistics. A shape may be described by its symmetry skewness and or modality. The shape of a distribution refers to the shape of a frequency or relative frequency.
Looking at s as representing a distribution the skewness of s is a measure of symmetry while kurtosis is a measure of peakedness of the data in s. We use skewness as a measure of symmetry. Learn about symmetry and skewness with respect to histograms boxplots and stemplots if you found this video helpful and like what we do you can directly s.
The skewness depending on whether its skewed to the left or right will give us some idea of whether there are a few extremely large values or a few extremely small values in our data.
Always add the direction when describing a skewed distribution.
