15. In a symmetrical distribution, mean is ____________ mode

 
 
 
 

16. The distribution is symmetrical if the moment coefficient of skewness $\sqrt{b_1}$ is

 
 
 
 

17. If the third moment about mean is zero then the distribution is

 
 
 
 

18. The second moment about mean is equal to

 
 
 

19. In Uni-model distribution, if mode is less than mean, then the distribution will be

 
 
 
 

20. The empirical relation between mean, median, and mode is

 
 
 
 

Basic statistics deals with the measure of central tendencies (such as mean, median, mode, weighted mean, geometric mean, and Harmonic mean) and measure of dispersion (such as range, standard deviation, and variances).

Basic statistical methods include planning and designing the study, collecting data, arranging, and numerical and graphically summarizing the collected data.

Basic statistics are also used to perform statistical analysis to draw meaningful inferences.

MCQs Skewness

A basic visual inspection of data using some graphical and numerical statistics may give some useful hidden information already available in the data. The graphical representation includes a bar chart, pie chart, dot chart, box plot, etc.

Companies related to finance, communication, manufacturing, charity organizations, government institutes, simple to large businesses, etc. are all examples that have a massive interest in collecting data and measuring different sorts of statistical findings. This helps them to learn from the past, notice the trends, and plan for the future.

There are various graphical and numerical ways that are used to check the skewness of the data. Skewness is the lack of symmetry in distribution.
