Unit 4 Descriptive Statistics Pdf Skewness Quartile This document provides an introduction and overview of measures of dispersion used in descriptive statistics. it defines key terms like range, quartiles, mean deviation, variance, and standard deviation. Descriptive statistics unit iv measures of skewness meaning of skewness: • skewness means lack of symmetry. • we study skewness to have an idea about the shape of the curve which we can draw with the help of the given data. • if, in a distribution, mean = median = mode, then that distribution is known as symmetrical distribution.
Stats Unit 4 Pdf • using the extremes, quartiles and median, we can draw a . boxplot, a graphical summary which reveals basic distributional properties (center, spread, skewness, outliers), and which is especially useful for comparing several data sets, side by side. Here, we shall study various measures of skewness and kurtosis. in this unit, the concepts of skewness are described in section 4.2 whereas the various measures of skewness are given with examples in section 4.3. in section 4.4, the concepts and the measures of kurtosis are described. Skewness refers to the type and degree of a distribution’s asymmetry. a distribution is skewed to the left if it has a longer tail on the left side and has a negative value for its skewness. if a distribution has a longer tail on the right, it has positve skewness. The first quartile, or the lower quartile, q1, is the median of the lower half of a data set. 3. the third quartile, or the upper quartile, q3, is the median of the upper half of a data set.

In unit 1, a detailed idea has been explored about the measures of central tendency. in unit 2, we have discussed about the variation of data and some useful measures of dispersion. then, in unit 3 we have described various types of moments and their uses. in unit 4, we have discussed the skewness and kurtosis and their coefficients. references:. Objectives • to understand skewness and able to distinguish it both from central tendency and dispersion. • to know to calculate skewness by different methods. • to define and calculate moments and kurtosis from a given set of data, and interpret the results. • the individual shape statistics are sometimes used in formal analysis, but rarely used in common practice. • a common shape measure is the skewness. • the sign of the skewness coefficient indicates which direction the data is skewed, the magnitude the degree of skewness. • symmetric data has a skewness coefficient of 0.
