## Moment Coefficient of Kurtosis for grouped data

The moment coefficient of kurtosis is denoted as $\beta_2$ and is defined as $$$$\beta_2=\frac{m_4}{m^2_2}$$$$

The gamma coefficient of kurtosis is defined as $$$$\gamma_2 = \beta_2 - 3$$$$

• If $\gamma_2 >0$ or $\beta_2 > 3$, then the frequency distribution is leptokurtic.
• If $\gamma_2 =0$ or $\beta_2 = 3$, then the frequency distribution is mesokurtic.
• If $\gamma_2 <0$ or $\beta_2 < 3$, then the frequency distribution is platykurtic.
