If a dataset has a skewness of 0, it indicates that

  • A.The dataset is symmetric
  • B.The dataset has a normal distribution
  • C.The dataset is negatively skewed
  • D.The dataset has more outliers

Answer: A

Zero skewness indicates that The dataset is symmetric.

Skewness measures asymmetry. A skewness of 0 means the distribution is balanced about its mean, with neither tail longer.

A normal distribution has zero skewness, but so do many other symmetric distributions, so zero skewness does not prove normality. Negative skewness means a longer left tail, and skewness says nothing directly about outliers.
