Calculate the Pearson's index of skewness. (Round the mean, median and standard deviation to one decimal place and Pearson's index to two decimal places.) It can be concluded that the distribution is \begin{tabular}{l} (Choose one) \\ significantly \\ not significantly \\ \hline\end{tabular}

To calculate Pearson's index of skewness, you first need the mean, median, and standard deviation of your data set. The formula for Pearson's index of skewness (often denoted as SK) is: \[ SK = 3 \times \frac{(\text{Mean} - \text{Median})}{\text{Standard Deviation}} \] Once you've calculated this, you can interpret the skewness. If the index is greater than 0, the distribution is positively skewed (the tail on the right side is longer or fatter). If it’s less than 0, it’s negatively skewed (the tail on the left side is longer or fatter). If it’s close to 0, the distribution is approximately symmetric. A skewness index of |SK| > 1 indicates significant skewness, while |SK| between 0.5 and 1 denotes moderate skewness, and |SK| < 0.5 suggests a distribution that is fairly symmetrical.
