## Moment Coefficient of Skewness for ungrouped data

Moment Coefficient of Skewness is denoted by $\beta_1$ and is defined as $$$$\beta_1 = \frac{m^2_3}{m^3_2}$$$$ where $m_2$ and $m_3$ are second and third central moments.

The gamma coefficient of skewness is defined as $$$$\gamma_1 = \sqrt{\beta_1}= \frac{m_3}{m^{3/2}_2}$$$$

• If $\gamma_1 >0$ or $\mu_3 > 0$, then the data is positively skewed.
• If $\gamma_1 =0$ or $\mu_3 = 0$, then the data is not skewed (symmetric).
• If $\gamma_1 <0$ or $\mu_3 < 0$, then the data is negatively skewed.
