b) Calculate (i) the arithmetic mean, (ii) the median and (iii) the mode for the
following data.
65, 55, 58, 70, 60, 62, 42, 39, 46, 55, 72, 48, 30
(i) The arithmetic mean
Total number of elements = 13
Mean Value = (65 + 55 + 58 + 70 + 60 + 62 + 42 + 39 + 46 + 55 + 72 + 48 + 30) /

b) In a certain distribution, the first four moments about the point 4 are -1.5,
17, -30 and 108. Calculate b1 and b2 and state whether the distribution is
lepto-kurtic or platy-kurtic.

= 1580.0625 / 3209.046
= 0.4923
= 142.3125 / 217.5625
= 0.6541
It is lepto-kurtic.

Q No.5) Four different paints are advertised as having the same drying time. To check the
manufacturer’s claim, five samples of each paint were tested. The time in minutes until the
paint was dry enough for a second coat to be applied was recorded. The following data
were obtained.
At the 0.05 level of significance, test to see whether the mean drying time is the same for
each type of paint.
