The kurtosis of a probability distribution is 2, per Microsoft
Excel. Which of the following characterizations is correct?
Group of answer choices
The tails of the distribution are lighter than the normal distribution
The tails of the distribution are similar to that of the normal distribution
The tails of the distribution are heavier than the normal distribution
The distribution is platykurtic
Homework Answers
Given
The kurtosis of distribution is 2
Hence we say that
The tails of the distribution are heavier then normal distribution.
Becouse when kurtosis is greater than zero then distribution have heavier tails.
