Pearson's skewness coefficient can be calculated using the formula ( \text{Skewness} = \frac{3(\text{Mean} - \text{Median})}{\text{Standard Deviation}} ). First, find the mean and median of the dataset, then compute the standard deviation. Finally, substitute these values into the formula to obtain the skewness coefficient, which indicates the asymmetry of the distribution. A positive value indicates right skewness, while a negative value indicates left skewness.
