If M: Mean, Md: Median, Mo: Mode, Q1: First Quartile and Q3: Third Quartile, then which of the following is an absolute measure of skewness?
M - Md
The absolute measure of skewness is given by:
Skewness = M - Md (Mean minus Median). This gives an indication of the asymmetry of the data distribution. If the skewness is positive, the distribution is skewed to the right, and if negative, it is skewed to the left.
