The first four moments of a distribution about mean are 0,3.2,3.6,20. The mean value is 11.
Calculate moment about originSolution:The first four moments of a distribution about mean `(bar x=11)` are
`m_1=0`
`m_2=3.2`
`m_3=3.6`
`m_4=20`
Find Moment about origin using Central momentsFirst Moment about origin`v_1=bar x`
`v_1=11`
Second Moment about origin`v_2=m_2+v_1^2`
`=3.2+11^2`
`=3.2+121`
`=124.2`
Third Moment about origin`v_3=m_3+3m_2v_1+v_1^3`
`=3.6+3*3.2*11+11^3`
`=3.6+105.6+1331`
`=1440.2`
Fourth Moment about origin`v_4=m_4+4m_3v_1+6m_2v_1^2+v_1^4`
`=20+4*3.6*11+6*3.2*11^2+11^4`
`=20+158.4+2323.2+14641`
`=17142.6`
