Skewness: Applications, Definition & Other measures of skewness

Skewness in probability theory and statistics is a measure of the asymmetry of the probability distribution of a real-valued random variable about its mean. Similarly to kurtosis, it provides insights into shape-related characteristics of a distribution. The skewness value can be positive, zero, negative, or undefined.
