They defined a random variable X to have the skew uniform distribution such that fx(x)=2g(x)G(x), where g(.) and G(.) denote the probability density function (pdf) and the cumulative distribution function (cdf) of the uniform distribution respectively. In this paper, we construct a new skewed distribution with pdf of the form 2f(x)G(x), where is a real number, f(.) is taken to be uniform (-a,a) while G(.) comes from uniform (-b,b). We derive some properties of the new skewed distribution, the r th moment, mean, variance, skewness, kurtosis, moment generating function, characteristic function, hazard rate function, median, R?nyi entropy and Shannon entropy. We also consider the generating issues. http://pubs.sciepub.com/ajams/3/4/6/ajams-3-4-6.pdf Skew Uniform distribution the r th moment characteristic function hazard rate function Entropy
