A measure to determine the skewness of a distribution is given by the formula skewness=(3(X̄-MD

Question: A measure to determine the skewness of a distribution is given by the formula

\[skewness=\frac{3(\bar{X}-MD)}{s}\]

When the distribution is symmetric, skewness=0

When the distribution is positively skewed, skewness > 0

When distribution is negatively skewed, skewness < 0

If mean is 8, median(MD) is 6 and standard deviation, s, is 2, find skewness and describe the shape of the distribution. (Hint: Substitute the given values into the formula to find skewness)
