SKEW(n1,n2,…)

• Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle n_1,n_2,…} are numbers to calculate the skewness.

Description

• This function gives the Skewness of a distribution.
• Skewness is a measure of the degree of asymmetry of a distribution.
• A distribution(normal distribution) is symmetry ,it don't have a Skewness.
• In a distribution the left tail is more pronounced than the right tail (towards more negative values) then the function is said to have Negative Skewness.
• If a distribution is skewed to the right, the tail on the curve's right-hand side is longer than the tail on the left-hand side (towards more positive values), then the function is said to have a positive skewness.
• In a Left Skewed Distribution, its Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle mean<median<mode}
• In a Normal Skewed Distribution, its Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle mean=median=mode}
• In a Right Skewed Distribution, its Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle mode<median<mean} .
• In Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle SKEW(n_1,n_2,...), n_1} is required.$n_{2},n_{3},...$ are optional.
• In calci there is no restriction for giving the number of arguments.
• The arguments can be be either numbers or names, array,constants or references that contain numbers.
• Suppose the array contains text,logicl values or empty cells, like that values are not considered.
• The equation for Skewness is defined by :Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle Skewness = \frac{n}{(n-1)(n-2)}\sum \left(\frac{x_i-\bar{x}}{s} \right)^3}

Where, Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle s} is the sample standard deviation, Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \bar{x}} represents a sample mean.

• This function will return the result as error when

 1. Any one of the argument is non-numeric. 
 2. If there are fewer than three data points, or the Sample Standard Deviation is zero.
