Skew

Lesson 2: Skew

In the second lesson of this module, we’ll look at a new concept called “skewness,” which measures how asymmetrical (or skewed) a set of data is. We’ll also explore how to calculate skewness in Excel.

Lab: Skew

“Skewness” is all about how asymmetrical the distribution of a set of data is. In this lab, we’ll find out exactly how skewed the coffee variables from the previous lab are.
