Q.3 The mean, mode and standard deviation of a frequency distribution are 27.5, 30 and 7.2 respectively. Calculate Karl Pearson’s coefficient of skewness of the distribution.
Ans. S(kp) = (Mean – Mode)/Standard Deviation
= (27.5 – 30)/7.2
= -2.5/7.2
= -0.347
Since, 0.5>S(kp)>-0.5,
Distance is fairly symmetric.
Q.4 The mean, mode and standard deviation of a frequency distribution are 49, 45 and 23 respectively. Calculate Karl Pearson’s coefficient of skewness of the distribution.
Ans.
S(kp) = 3(Mean – Median)/Standard Deviation
= 3(49 – 45)/23
= (3 x 4)/23
= 12/23
= 0.52
Since, S(kp) > 0.5,
Distance is carrying moderate skewness.
Q.5 The mean, mode and Karl Pearson’s coefficient of skewness of a frequency distribution are 32, 35 and -0.56 respectively. Calculate the standard deviation of the distribution.
Ans. S(kp) = (Mean – Mode)/Standard Deviation
-0.56 = (32 – 35)/SD
SD = -3/ -0.56
= 5.36
Q.6 The mean, standard deviation and Karl Pearson’s coefficient of a frequency distribution are 15, 2.5 and -0.6 respectively. Find the medium of the frequency distribution.
Ans. S(kp) = 3(Mean – Median)/Standard Deviation
-0.6 = 3(15 – Me)/2.5
-0.6 x 2.5 = 3(15 – Me)
-1.5 =3(15 – Me)
-1.5/3 = 15 – Me
-0.5 = 15 – Me
Me = 15 + 0.5
= 15.5
Q.7 The marks obtained by 60 students in a class test are given as under:
Marks | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |

xi^2 | 0 | 1 | 4 | 9 | 16 | 25 |
fi xi^2 | 0 | 4 | 64 | 225 | 128 | 125 |
Σfi xi = 168 , Σfi = 60 , Σfi xi^2 = 546
x̄ = 168/60 = 2.8
SD = 1/n √nΣfi xi^2 – (Σfi xi)^2
= 1/60 √60 x 546 – (168)^2
= 1/60 √32760 – 28224
= 1/60 √4536
= 1/60 x 67.35
= 1.12
S(kp) = (Mean – Mode)/Standard Deviation
= (2.8 – 3)/1.12
= -0.2/1.12
= -0.178
Therefore, fairly symmetric.
Q.8 Calculate the Karl Pearson’s coefficient of skewness for the following frequency distribution:
xi | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 |
fi | 14 | 26 | 18 | 8 | 2 | 1 | 1 |
Ans. Mode = 15
xi | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 |
fi | 14 | 26 | 18 | 8 | 2 | 1 | 1 |

xi^2 | 196 | 225 | 256 | 289 | 324 | 361 | 400 |
fi xi^2 | 2744 | 5850 | 4608 | 2312 | 648 | 361 | 400 |
Σfi xi = 1085 , Σfi = 70 , Σfi xi^2 = 16923
x̄ = 1085/70 = 15.5
SD = 1/n √nΣfi xi^2 – (Σfi xi)^2
= 1/70 √70 x 16923 – (1085)^2
= 1/70 √1184610 – 1177225
= 1/70 √7385
= 1/70 x 85.93
= 1.22
S(kp) = (Mean – Mode)/Standard Deviation
= (15.5 – 15)/1.22
= 0.5/1.22
= 0.409
Therefore, distribution is fairly symmetric.

fi xi^2 | 600 | 4400 | 18900 | 36800 | 35000 | 18000 |
Σfi xi = 2830 , Σfi = 80 , Σfi xi^2 = 103700
x̄ = 2830/80 = 35.375
Sd = 1/n √nΣfi xi^2 – (Σfi xi)^2
= 1/80 √80 x 103700 – (2830)^2
= 1/80 √8296000 – 8008900
= 1/80 √287100
= 1/80 x 1042.64
= 13.03
(i) Mode:
Mode = L + [(f1 – f0)/(2f1 – f0 – f2) x h]
= 35 + [(23 – 21)/(46 – 21 – 14) x 10]
= 35 + 20/11
= 35 + 1.81 = 36.81
S(kp) = (Mean – Mode)/Standard Deviation
= (35.37 – 36.81)/13.03
= -1.44/13.03
= -0.111
Therefore, fairly symmetric.
(ii) Median
CF | 6 | 7 | 38 | 61 | 75 | 80 |
n = 80, n/2 = 40
Median class = 35 – 45
L = 35, h = 10, f = 23, CF = 38
Median = L + [(n/2 – CF)/f x h]
= 35 + [(40 – 38)/23 x 10]
= 35 – 20/23
= 35.9
S(kp) = 3(Mean – Median)/Standard Deviation
= 3(35.37 – 35.89)/13.03
= 3 x -0.52/13.03
= -1.56/13.03
= -0.114
Therefore, fairly symmetric.

Ans.
Height (in cm) | 30-40 | 40-50 | 5-60 | 60-70 | 70-80 | 80-90 |
No. of plants | 4 | 3 | 8 | 12 | 6 | 2 |
xi | 35 | 45 | 55 | 65 | 75 | 85 |
xi^2 | 1225 | 2025 | 3025 | 4225 | 5625 | 7225 |
fi xi^2 | 4900 | 6075 | 24400 | 50700 | 33750 | 14450 |
Σfi xi = 2115 , Σfi = 35 , Σfi xi^2 = 134275
x̄ = 2115/35 = 60.42
Sd = 1/n √nΣfi xi^2 – (Σfi xi)^2
= 1/35 √35 x 134275 – (2115)^2
= 1/35 √4699625 – 4473225
= 1/35 √226400
= 1/35 x 475.81
= 13.59
(i) Mode:
Mode = L + [(f1 – f0)/(2f1 – f0 – f2) x h]
= 60 + [(12 – 8)/(24 – 8 – 6) x 10]
= 60 + 4/10 x 10
= 64
S(kp) = (Mean – Mode)/Standard Deviation
= (60.42 – 64)/13.59
= -3.58/13.59
= -0.266
Therefore, fairly symmetric.
Q.11 For a certain frequency distribution Q1 = 4, Q2 = 15 and Q3 = 19. Find the Bowley’s coefficient of skewness.
Ans. Skewness by Bowley’s coefficient = (Q3 +Q1 -2Q2)/(Q3 – Q1)
= [19 + 4 – (2 X 15)]/[19 – 4]
= (23 – 30)/15
= -7/15
= -0.467
Q.12 The lower and upper quartile for a certain frequency distribution are 7 and 15 respectively. If the Bowley’s coefficient of skewness is 0.25, find the median of the distribution.
Ans. Q1 = 7, Q2 = ?, Q3 = 15
Skewness by Bowley’s coefficient = (Q3 +Q1 -2Q2)/(Q3 – Q1)
0.25 = [15 + 7 – 2Q2]/[15 – 7]
0.25 = (22 – 2Q2)/8
0.25 x 8 = 22 – 2Q2
2 = 22 – 2Q2
2Q2 = 22 – 2
Q2 = 20/2
Q2 = 10
Q.13 In a frequency distribution, the coefficient of skewness based on quartiles is 0.25. If the sum of upper quartile and lower quartile is 80 and the median is 35, find the values of lower and upper quartiles.
Ans. Skewness by Bowley’s coefficient = 0.25
Q3 + Q1 = 80, Q2 = 35
Let, upper and lower quartile be x & y respectively,
Skewness by Bowley’s coefficient = (Q3 +Q1 -2Q2)/(Q3 – Q1)
0.25 = [80 – 2(35)]/[x – y]
x – y = (80 – 70)/0.25
= 10/0.25
= 40
Here,
x + y = 80
x – y = 40
2x = 120
Therefore,
x = 60 [Q3]
y = 120 [Q1]
Q.14 Calculate the Bowley’s coefficient of skewness for the following data:
xi | 15 | 18 | 20 | 22 | 25 | 27 | 30 |
fi | 4 | 6 | 8 | 9 | 7 | 8 | 6 |
Ans.
xi | 15 | 18 | 20 | 22 | 25 | 27 | 30 |
fi | 4 | 6 | 8 | 9 | 7 | 8 | 6 |
CF | 4 | 10 | 18 | 27 | 34 | 42 | 48 |
For Q1: [(n/4) + (n/4 + 1)th/2]
= [12th + 13th]/2
= (20 + 20)/2
= 20
For Q2: [(n/2) + (n/2 + 1)Th/2]
Therefore, Q2 = 22
For Q3: [(3n/4) + (3n/4 + 1)Th/2]
= [36th + 37th]/2
Therefore, Q3 = 27
Skewness by Bowley’s coefficient = (Q3 +Q1 -2Q2)/(Q3 – Q1)
= (27 + 20 – 2 x 22)/(27 – 20)
= (47 -44)/7
= 3/7
= 0.428
Q.15 The following shows the monthly income (in Rs.) of workers in a factory.
Income (in Rs.) | 7000-8000 | 8000-9000 | 9000-10000 | 10000-11000 | 11000-12000 |
No. of workers | 4 | 8 | 9 | 6 | 3 |
Calculate the Bowley’s coefficient of skewness.
Ans.
Income (in Rs.) | 7000-8000 | 8000-9000 | 9000-10000 | 10000-11000 | 11000-12000 |
No. of workers | 4 | 8 | 9 | 6 | 3 |
CF | 4 | 12 | 21 | 27 | 30 |
For Q1: n/4 = 30/4 = 7.5
Q1 class = 8000-9000
l = 8000, CF = 4, f = 8, h = 1000
Using, Q1 = l + [(n/4 – CF)/f x h]
= 8000 + [(7.5 – 4)/8 x 1000]
= 8000 + [3500/8]
= 8000 + 437.5
= 8437.5
For Q2: n/2 = 15
Q2 class = 9000-10000
l = 9000, CF = 12, f = 9, h = 1000
Using, Q2 = l + [(n/2 – CF)/f x h]
= 9000 + [(15 – 12)/9 x 1000]
= 9000 + [1000/3]
= 9000 + 333.3
= 9333.3
For Q3: 3n/4 = 3x 30/4 = 22.5
Q3 class = 10000-11000
l = 10000, CF = 21, f = 6, h = 1000
Using, Q3 = l + [(n/4 – CF)/f x h]
= 10000 + [(22.5 – 21)/6 x 1000]
= 10000 + [1500/6]
= 10000 + 250
= 10250
Skewness by Bowley’s coefficient = (Q3 +Q1 -2Q2)/(Q3 – Q1)
= (10250 + 8437.5 – 2 x 9333.3)/(10250 – 8437.5)
= (18687.5 – 18666.6)/1812.5
= 20.9/1812.5
= 0.011
Q.16 The first three central moments of a distribution are 0, 3 and 0.8 respectively. Find the moment coefficients of skewness β1 and γ1.
Ans. μ1 = 0, μ2 = 3, μ3 = 0.8
β1 = (μ3)^2/(μ2)^3
= (0.8)^2/3^3
= 0.64/27
= 0.0237
γ1 = ±√β1
= √0.0237
= 0.154
Q.17 In a distribution second and third central moments are 10 and -9 respectively. In another distribution second second and third central moments are 18 and -12 respectively. Which distribution is more skewed to the left?
Ans. In distribution 1 = μ2 = 10, μ3 = -9
β1 = (μ3)^2/(μ2)^3
= (-9)^2/10^3
= 81/1000
= 0.081
In distribution 2 = μ2 = 18, μ3 = -12
β1 = (μ3)^2/(μ2)^3
= (-12)^2/18^3
= 144/5832
= 0.0247
Now,
0.081 > 0.0247
So, distribution 1 is more skewed towards the left.
Q.18 In a frequency distribution, variance is 5, and moment coefficient of skewness γ1 = -0.5. Find the third central moment of the distribution.
Ans. σ^2 = 5, μ2 = 5
γ1 = – 0.5
γ1 = √ β1
-0.5 = √μ3^2/μ2^3
-0.5 = μ3/√μ2^3
-0.5 = μ3/√5^3
-0.5 = μ2/√125
-0.5 x √125 = μ3
-0.5 x 11.18 = μ3
-5.59 = μ3
Q.19 Compute the moment coefficient of skewness β1 for the following distribution:
Marks obtained | 0-10 | 10-20 | 20-30 | 30-40 | 40-50 | 50-60 | 60-70 |
Frequency | 6 | 12 | 22 | 24 | 16 | 12 | 8 |
Ans.
Marks obtained | Frequency(fi) | xi | fi xi | (xi – x̄)^2 | (xi – x̄)^3 | fi(xi – x̄)^2 | fi(xi – x̄)^3 |
0-10 | 6 | 5 | 30 | 900 | -27000 | 5400 | -16200 |
10-20 | 12 | 15 | 180 | 400 | -8000 | 4800 | -96000 |
20-30 | 22 | 25 | 550 | 100 | -1000 | 2200 | -22000 |
30-40 | 24 | 35 | 840 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
40-50 | 16 | 45 | 720 | 100 | 1000 | 1600 | 16000 |
50-60 | 12 | 55 | 660 | 400 | 8000 | 4800 | 96000 |
60-70 | 8 | 65 | 520 | 900 | 27000 | 7200 | 21600 |
100 | 3500 | 26000 | 48000 |
x̄ = 3500/100 = 35
μ2 = Σfi(xi – x̄)^2/Σfi
= 26000/100 = 260
μ3 = Σfi(xi – x̄)^3/Σfi
= 48000/100 = 480
Now, β1 = (μ3)^2/(μ2)^3
= (480 x 480)/(260 x 260 x 260)
= 0.013
Q.20 The first four central moments of a frequency distribution are 0, 6, 19 and 42 respectively. Examine the skewness and kurtosis of the distribution.
Ans. μ1 = 0, μ2 = 6, μ3 = 19, μ4 = 42
For skewness β1 = (μ3)^2/(μ2)^3
= (19 x 19)/6^3
= 361/216
= 1.67
β1 > 0 Therefore, Distribution is positively skewed.
For Kurtosis β2 = μ4/(μ2)^2
= 42/36
= 1.167
β2 < 0 Therefore, distribution is platykurtic.
Q.21 For a mesokurtic distribution, the standard deviation is 0.4. calculate the value of fourth central moment.
Ans. Given σ = 0.4
σ^2 = 0.16(μ2)
Since, Distance is mesokurtic,
Therefore, β2 = 3
Using, β2 = μ4/(μ2)^2
3 = μ4/(0.16)^2
3 x 0.0256 = μ4
0.0768 = μ4
Q.22 For a leptokurtic distribution β2 = 4.3 and μ = 10. Calculate the variance of distribution.
Ans. β2 = 4.3, μ4 = 10, σ^2 = ? (μ2)
β2 = μ4/(μ2)^2
4.3 = 10/(μ2)^2
(μ2)^2 = 10/4.3
(μ2)^2 = 100/43
μ2 = √100/43
μ2 = 10/6.55
μ2 = 1.52
Q.23 For a central distribution, mean is 7, standard deviation is 3, β1 is 1.5 and β2 is 3.4. Find the first four central moments.
Ans. x̄ = 7, SD = 3 (σ), β1 = 1.5, β2 = 3.4
μ1 = 0
μ2 = (σ)^2 = 3^2 = 9
Using β1 = (μ3)^2/(μ2)^3
1.5 = (μ3)^2/9^3 [ From above]
1.5 x 729 = (μ3)^2
μ3 = √1093.5
= 33.07
Using β2 = μ4/(μ2)^2
3.4 = μ4/9^2
3.4 x 81 = μ4
275.4 = μ4
Q.24 Calculate the first four central moments for the following distribution. Also calculate β1 and β2. Comment upon the nature of skewness and kurtosis.
Ans.
