Skewness of Beta Distribution

Theorem
Let $X \sim \BetaDist \alpha \beta$ for some $\alpha, \beta > 0$, where $\operatorname {Beta}$ denotes the Beta distribution.

Then the skewness $\gamma_1$ of $X$ is given by:


 * $\gamma_1 = \dfrac {2 \paren {\beta - \alpha} \sqrt {\alpha + \beta + 1} } {\paren {\alpha + \beta + 2} \sqrt {\alpha \beta} }$
