To find the coefficient of skewness using quartiles, we use Bowley's coefficient of skewness (also known as the quartile coefficient of skewness). The formula is:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Coefficient of Skewness = (Q3 - 2 * Q2 + Q1) / (Q3 - Q1)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Where:
\n" ); document.write( "* Q1 is the first quartile
\n" ); document.write( "* Q2 is the second quartile (median)
\n" ); document.write( "* Q3 is the third quartile\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Given:
\n" ); document.write( "* Q1 = 37.15
\n" ); document.write( "* Q2 = 49.21
\n" ); document.write( "* Q3 = 61.27\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let's calculate:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1. Calculate (Q3 - 2 * Q2 + Q1):
\n" ); document.write( " * 61.27 - 2 * 49.21 + 37.15 = 61.27 - 98.42 + 37.15 = 0\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2. Calculate (Q3 - Q1):
\n" ); document.write( " * 61.27 - 37.15 = 24.12\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3. Calculate the coefficient of skewness:
\n" ); document.write( " * 0 / 24.12 = 0\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, the coefficient of skewness is 0.
