Explain the concept of skewness. How does it help in analyzing the data?

Skewness refers to distortion or asymmetry in a symmetrical bell curve, or normal distribution, in a set of data. If the curve is shifted to the left or to the right, it is said to be skewed. Skewness can be quantified as a representation of the extent to which a given distribution varies from a normal distribution. A normal distribution has a skew of zero, while a lognormal distribution, for example, would exhibit some degree of right-skew.

The three probability distributions depicted below are positively-skewed (or right-skewed) to an increasing degree. Negatively-skewed _____ ________ ___ __________ _______ _________ ______.
