14. It is clear from the sided diagram that
in a symmetrical skewed distribution
Mean = Median = Mode, the spread of
frequencies is the same on both sides
of the central point of the curve . Mean = Median = Mode
4/12/2019Atmiya University - Rajkot 14
If the frequency curve has a longer tail
to the right , i.e. The mean is to the
right of mode then the distribution is
said to be have positively skewed. Mode MeanMedian
15. If the curve is more elongated to the
left , then it is said to have negative
skewed distribution.

17. Absolute Measure of Skewness
- It is calculated by using the formula
- Where = Absolute measure of skewness
- But it is not useful when given data has two series with different
units.
