Butz et al. evaluated the duration of benefit derived from the use of noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation by patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) on symptoms, quality of life and survival. ALS, aka Lou Gehrig's Disease, is a degenerative disease of the motor neurons. One of the variables of interest is partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide (PaCO2). The values below (measured in mm Hg) reflect the results of baseline testing on 20 of the 30 subjects in the study, as established by arterial blood gas analyses. (Am. J Med.

You may use a computer program for this step and Find the skewness and kurtosis using Excel or Matlab.
