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.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_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.

Examples

1.Array={4,9,11,10,5} SKEW(B1:B5)=-0.4369344921493 2.Array={0,29,41,18,4,38} SKEW(A1:A6)=-0.21921252920 3.Array={-5,11,18,7} SKEW(C1:C4)=-0.715957010 4.Array={4,5,2,5,6,8} SKEW(C1:C6)=0 5.Array={1,2,3,5,6,11} SKEW(A1:A6)=1.16584702768
