What Is Cystic Fibrosis | Health | Biology | FuseSchool
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease. It is caused by a defective gene on one of the chromosomes which has been inherited from the parents. The severity varies greatly from person to person, and largely depends on how much the lungs are affected. Deterioration in condition is inevitable,

Kurtosis of a probability distribution (FRM T2-7)
[Here is my xls http://trtl.bz/121817-yt-kurtosis-xls] Kurtosis is the standardized fourth central moment and is a measure of tail density; e.g., heavy or fat-tails. Heavy-tailedness also tends to correspond to high peakedness. Excess kurtosis (aka, leptokurtosis) is given by (kurtosis-3).

A Trip To Mars Is Deadlier Than We Thought
Going to Mars may be more dangerous than we thought. High-energy space radiation exists on the planet that can cause damage to DNA. This means the risk of cancer on Mars is twice as high as previously thought. So before we send crewed missions to the planet, more research needs to be done.

FRM: Distribution moments (mean, variance, skew, kurtosis)
Here is the spreadsheet I used @ http://db.tt/bziK312h. The four central moments of a distribution are mean (1st), variance, skew and kurtosis. They tell us quickly about the personality of the distribution. For more financial risk videos, visit our website! http://www.bionicturtle.com.

I illustrate how to manually calculate skew and kurtosis with Google's daily price data from 2007. The point is the variance, skew and kurtosis are each related MOMENTS of the distribution. A normal distribution has skew = 0 and kurtosis = 3 https://www.dropbox.com/s/9ge1gckgqhahcou/2.a.1
