e) Compute skewness and kurtosis for cholesterol values and comment on the nature of the
distribution.
Ans: We know that, if skewness is less than −1 or greater than +1, the distribution is highly
skewed. Here our skewness is 2.460 which refers that our data is skewed right and it is highly
skewed.
And from the above table we can find that our kurtosis value is 10.053. We know that, if kurtosis
is greater than 3 than it is called platykurtic. Here our data is platykurtic.
