Are these data skewed to the left (negatively skewed) or skewed to the right (positively skewed)? 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 9, 1850

OR By using R command

X=c(1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 9, 1850)
M=mean(X)
Med=median(X)
Sk=sum((X-M)^3)/((length(X)-1)*sd(X)^3)
Sk
[1] 3.207053
# Here Sk>0 therefore data is skewed to right(Positively skewed)
a=3*(M-Med)/sd(X) # karlpearson measure of skewness
a
[1] 0.8031805
# Here a>0 therefore data is skewed to right(Positively skewed)
