Comments
If the skewness is zero, the probability curve for a distribution is symmetric about the midpoint of the distribution.
If the skewness is less than zero, the probability curve for a distribution is concentrated to the left of the midpoint of the distribution.
If the skewness is greater than zero, the probability curve for a distribution is concentrated to the right of the midpoint of the distribution.
