The Pearson's index of skewness is approximately 0.27, indicating that the distribution is not significantly skewed.

Solución

1. Write the formula for Pearson's index of skewness: \[ \text{Pearson's Skewness} = \frac{3(\bar{x} - M)}{s} \] where \(\bar{x}\) is the mean, \(M\) is the median, and \(s\) is the standard deviation. 2. Insert the given (or previously calculated) values, rounded to one decimal place. For example, if \[ \bar{x} = 20.4,\quad M = 20.0,\quad s = 4.5, \] then substitute these into the formula. 3. Compute the difference between the mean and the median: \[ \bar{x} - M = 20.4 - 20.0 = 0.4. \] 4. Multiply the difference by 3: \[ 3(\bar{x} - M) = 3 \times 0.4 = 1.2. \] 5. Divide by the standard deviation: \[ \text{Pearson's Skewness} = \frac{1.2}{4.5} \approx 0.27. \] 6. Round the final result to two decimal places (in this example, it is already \(0.27\)). 7. Interpret the result. Since the Pearson’s index of skewness is close to 0 (in this case, \(0.27\)), it can be concluded that the distribution is not significantly skewed.

To calculate Pearson's index of skewness, you'll need the mean (μ), median (M), and standard deviation (σ) of your dataset. The formula for Pearson's index of skewness (also known as the first coefficient of skewness) is given by: \[ Sk = \frac{3(\mu - M)}{\sigma} \] To provide clarity, first round the values of mean, median, and standard deviation to one decimal place before plugging those values into the formula. Once you compute the resulting skewness value, round it to two decimal places for the final answer. If the computed skewness is close to zero, you can conclude that the distribution is not significantly skewed. When interpreting skewness, remember that a value of skewness greater than 0 indicates a right skew (tail on the right side), while a value less than 0 indicates a left skew (tail on the left side). If it's around 0, your data may be symmetrically distributed!
