4(a).The first four moments of a distribution about the value 5 are 2,20,40 and 50. Find
skewness and kurtosis.
4(b). In a frequency distribution the coefficient of skewness based on quartiles is 0.6. If
the sum of the upper and the lower quartiles is 100 and the median is 38, find the value
of the upper quartiles.
5(a). From the following information calculate coefficient of variation and coefficient of
skewness.
Arithmetic mean = 56.8, Median =59.5 and Standard deviation = 12.4
5(b). For a moderately skewed data, the arithmetic mean is 200, the coefficient of
variation is 8 and Karl Pearson’s coefficient of skewness is 0.3. Calculate the mode and
median.

they leave. These locations each have two cash registers and two employees who check
out customers. Let X be the number of cash registers being used at a particular time for
location 1 and Y the number being used at the same time for location 2. The joint
