\description{
|
||
|
|
Skewness is a measure of the asymmetry of the probability distribution of a real-valued random variable about its mean.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When negative: the left tail is longer; the mass of the distribution is concentrated on the right of the figure. When positive: the right tail is longer; the mass of the distribution is concentrated on the left of the figure.
