In this article the first eleven moments of r, are derived. They are used to examine the distributions of some of the familiar transformations of r under normal assumptions. Tables provided compare μ2 skewness (β1), and kurtosis (β2) with μ2*, β1* and β2* studied by Subrahmaniam and Gajjar (1980). These results provide further evidence of the usefulness of this work.
