Which is true of the kurtosis of a distribution?
A)A distribution that is flatter than a normal distribution (i.e., thicker tails) is mesokurtic.
B)A distribution that is more peaked than a normal distribution (i.e., thinner tails) is platykurtic.
C)It is risky to assess kurtosis if the sample size is less than 50.
D)The expected range of the kurtosis coefficient increases as n increases.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kurtosis assessment can be unreliable with small sample sizes, such as less than 50, because the estimates of kurtosis can be significantly affected by the lack of data, leading to inaccurate representations of the distribution's tail heaviness.
