Match List-I (Type of Skewness) with List-II (Size of measures of central tendency & value of coefficient of skewness) :
| List-I | List-II |
| (a) Positively skewed | (i) |
| (b) Negatively skewed | (ii) |
| (c) Symmetrical distribution | (iii) |
| (d) Moderately skewed | (iv) Karl Pearson's coefficient lies between –1 and +1 |
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Positive skewness has the usual ordering mean greater than median greater than mode; negative skewness reverses that ordering. A symmetrical distribution has coincident mean, median and mode. Moderate skewness is conventionally associated with Karl Pearson's coefficient lying between −1 and +1.
