\description{
|
|
Skewness is a measure of the asymmetry of the probability distribution of a real-valued random variable about its mean.
|
|
|
|
When negative ('left-skewed'): the left tail is longer; the mass of the distribution is concentrated on the right of a histogram. When positive ('right-skewed'): the right tail is longer; the mass of the distribution is concentrated on the left of a histogram. A normal distribution has a skewness of 0.
