Methods to Measure Skewness
Skewness can be measured using Karl Pearson’s Coefficient of Skewness.
Karl Pearson’s Co-efficient of Skewness
The formula for measuring Skewness using Karl Pearson’s Co-efficient is discussed below in the image,
Conditions
- Mean = Mode = Median, then the coefficient of skewness is zero for symmetrical distribution.
- Mean > Mode, then the coefficient of skewness will be positive.
- Mean < Mode, then the coefficient of skewness will be negative.
Karl person`s coefficient of skewness has a positive sign for the positively skewed and a negative sign for the negatively skewed.

Skewness Formula
The measure of skewness tells us the direction and the extent of skewness. In symmetrical distribution the mean, median, and mode are identical. the more the mean moves away from the mode, the larger the asymmetric or skewness.
Before learning let’s learn more about Mean, Median, and Mode first.
