Formula

1. Sample Standard deviation `S = sqrt((sum (x - bar x)^2)/(n-1))`

2. Skewness `= (sum(x - bar x)^3)/((n-1)*S^3)`

3. Kurtosis `= (sum(x - bar x)^4)/((n-1)*S^4)`

Examples
1. Calculate Sample Skewness, Sample Kurtosis from the following data
3,13,11,11,5,4,2

Solution:
Mean `bar x = (sum x)/n`

`=(3 + 13 + 11 + 11 + 5 + 4 + 2)/7`

`=49/7`

`=7`

Sample Standard deviation `S = sqrt((sum (x - bar x)^2)/(n-1))`

`=sqrt(122/6)`

`=sqrt(20.3333)`

`=4.5092`

`=2786/(6*(4.5092)^4)`

`=2786/(6*413.4444)`

`=1.1231`
