We prove that under mild regularity conditions, the sample skewness is the locally best invariant (LBI) test of normality against a wide class of asymmetric families and the kurtosis is the LBI test against symmetric families. We also discuss non-regular cases such as testing normality against ...
As we can see fromGraphical Tests for Normality and Symmetry, the skewness is SKEW(A4:A23) = .23 (cell D13) with standard error SQRT(6/COUNT(A4:A23)) = .55 (cell D16). Since .23 < 2*.55 = 1.10, the skewness is acceptable for a normal distribution. Also the kurtosis is KURT(...

Skewness, Kurtosis, and the Normal Curve偏度,峰度,和正常的曲线.doc,Skewness, Kurtosis, and the Normal Curve( Skewness In everyday language, the terms “skewed” and “askew” are used to refer to something that is out of line or distorted on one side.
Measures of symmetry and Kurtosis The skewness represents an index of asymmetry of distributions being analyzed. Perfectly symmetrical distribution will have a skewness equal to zero. The fact that here we have a negative skewness in our example implies that the distribution is skewed to the left....

One application is testing for normality: many statistics inferences require that a distribution be normal or nearly normal. A normal distribution has skewness and excess kurtosis of 0, so if your distribution is close to those values then it is probably close to normal....
