Question
What are the main objectives of studying skewness?
✓
Answer
The main objectives of studying skewness are as follows:
$(1)$ To get complete information of the data with respect to the direction, shape and form of the frequency curve of the frequency distribution.
$(2)$ To obtain more information about the population by studying the symmetry of the frequency curve.
$(3)$ To study whether the frequency of observation at equidistant on both sides of mode Is evenly distributed or not.
