"Kurtosis" may mean "excess kurtosis"

which is 0 for the normal distribution and is estimated by the Excel KURT()
function.

Your subject line talks of a normal distribution, in which case presumably
your skew is zero and kurtosis is 3? If not, you presumably don't have a
normal distribution? Similarly if you have a normal distribution your max
and min are at plus and minus infinity?

Hi,
I know the mean, max, min, standard deviation, skew and kurtosis.
I need to plot a graph with this data and I have got as far as using
NORMDIST to create the normal distribution curve. How do I add in the skew
and kurtosis
Thanks
