The Pearsons Coefficient of Skewness is a measure of what?

Answer:
It is a descriptive statistical measure used to measure the shape of the curve drawn from the frequency distribution or to measure the direction of variation.

It is a measure of how far positively skewed (below the mean) or negatively skewed (above the mean) the majority (that's where the mode comes in) of the data lies. Useful when conducting a study using histograms.
