Mikä on Skewness Calculator?

▾

Skewness measures the asymmetry of a probability distribution. Positive skew (right tail) means a few large values pull the mean up; negative skew (left tail) means a few small values pull it down.

Calkulon makes complex calculations simple — built for students and everyday problem-solvers.

Kaava

f(x)Skewness = E[(X − μ)³] / σ³ = (Σ(xᵢ − x̄)³) / (n × s³)

Kuinka Skewness Calculator

▾

1Sample skewness = (n/((n−1)(n−2))) × Σ((xᵢ−x̄)/s)³
2Symmetric: skewness ≈ 0
3Right-skewed: mean > median > mode
4Left-skewed: mean < median < mode

Tulos:Positively skewed (right tail); mean > median

Esimerkki 2

Annettu:Test scores where most are near the top

Tulos:Negatively skewed (left tail)

Skewness Interpretation

▾

Skewness	Description	Example
< −1	Highly left-skewed	Retirement ages
−1 to −0.5	Moderately left-skewed	Top exam scores
−0.5 to 0.5	Approximately symmetric	Heights
0.5 to 1	Moderately right-skewed	House prices
> 1	Highly right-skewed	Wealth distribution

Usein kysytyt kysymykset

▾

What does skewness tell us?

Positive skewness: tail on right (long right tail). Negative: tail on left. Zero: symmetric.

When is data considered skewed?

Typically, |skewness| > 0.5 indicates noticeable skew. > 1 is highly skewed.

How is skewness different from kurtosis?

Skewness measures asymmetry. Kurtosis measures tail weight (how extreme the values are).
