    This document discusses skewness and kurtosis in statistics. It defines skewness as a measure of symmetry, and provides the formula for calculating the coefficient of skewness. Negative skewness means the mean is shifted left of the median, positive skewness means the mean is shifted right, and zero skewness indicates perfect symmetry. Kurtosis measures whether a distribution is more peaked or flat compared to a normal distribution. The document also provides formulas for calculating central moments, and gives an example of calculating the first moment to prove that it equals zero. It concludes with assigning homework to prove the first moment calculation using the given data set.
