6. Absolute measures of skewness


(i) Absolute skewness = Q3 + Q1 – 2Q2
(ii) If Q3 – Q2 > Q2 – Q1, then skewness is positive
(iii) If Q3 – Q2 < Q2 – Q1, then skewness is negative
7. Relative measures of skewness
(i) Karl Pearson’s Coefficient of Skewness:
𝑀𝑒𝑎𝑛−𝑀𝑜𝑑𝑒
SKp = 𝑆𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑎𝑟𝑑 𝐷𝑒𝑣𝑖𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛

If mode is ill defined, then

SKp = 𝑆𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑎𝑟𝑑 𝐷𝑒𝑣𝑖𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛

(ii) Bowley’s Coefficient of Skewness


𝑄3 + 𝑄1 −2𝑀𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑛 𝑄3 + 𝑄1 −2𝑄2
SKB = =
𝑄3 − 𝑄1 𝑄3 − 𝑄1

If SKB > 0, then distribution is positively skewed.


If SKB = 0, then distribution is symmetrical.
If SKB > 0, then distribution is negatively skewed.
(iii) Moment coefficient of Skewness

Generally, skewness is measured in terms of


𝜇2
