    1. Looking at SCORE variable, the skewness is -0.0511422 and excess kurtosis is 0.208336. For the normal distribution, skewness is zero. Since the skewness for SCORE variable is negative, this indicates that the distribution is skewed to the left (the long tail will be in the negative direction). For the normal distribution, kurtosis is three. So K-3 measures excess kurtosis. Since the excess kurtosis for SCORE variable is positive, the distribution is leptokurtic (it has thick tails as compared to the normal distribution.…
