    Question

    For discrete distribution, the co-efficient of kurtosis

    β₂ is -
    A Greater than 1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Less than 1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Equal to 1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Less than or equal to 1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The Pearson coefficient β2 is always greater than 1 for discrete distribution. β2 = 3 indicates mesokurtic curve. β2< 3 and β2 > 1 then the curve will be platykurtic but it must be greater than 1 otherwise it will be straight line curve and question of skewness does not arise.
