1. Find the coefficient of skewness of the scores of 60 grade fi pupils in a 50 item

test in Biology in the mean is 27 and the median is 30 with SD 15. Analyze the
result.

SK = _3(27-30)_
15

SK = _3(-3)_
15

SK= _-9_
15
SK = -0.6

Analysis

The SK-0.6, the value of sk is negative, meaning the score distribution is

negatively skewed. Most of the scores are high, this means that the students
have performed excellently in the said examination.
2. Compute the coefficient of skewness of using the given data. Give the analysis.

Mean= 56
Median= 54
SD = 21

SK=_3(56-54)_
21
SK=_3(2)_
21
SK=_6_
21
SK = 0.29

Analysis
The SK -0.29, the value of sk is positive, meaning the score distribution is
positively skewed. Most of the scores are below themean. This means that the
students did not perform well in the said examination.
