Skewness and Kurtosis

Skewness and Kurtosis

You will learn about the skewness and kurtosis, which are important properties of distributions, in this lesson.

Skewness

Skewness refers to the distortion or asymmetry in a Bell Curve or Normal Distribution. It tells us how much a distribution varies from the Normal Distribution. A Normal Distribution has a Skewness of zero. A distribution can be right (positively) or left (negatively) skewed.
