Helloo,

Can you please take a look at this and let me know if I solved skewness and kurtosis correctly? TIA!

Would the amount of skewness and kurtosis in these variables affect the analysis? How do you know? Give numerical values to support your conclusion.

The skewness and kurtosis in these variables did not affect the analysis because skewness for hot (Group 1) was calculated as -.332/.678=.48, kurtosis was calculated as .216/1.334=.161; for cold (Group 2), skewness was calculated as .312/.678=.46, kurtosis was calculated as -.679/1.334=-.508. They did not fall between -.1.96 and 1.96 intervals.
