1. Calculate Population Skewness from the following grouped data
XFrequency
01
15
210
36
43


Solution:
Skewness :
Mean `bar x=(sum f x)/n`

`=55/25`

`=2.2`

`x`
`(2)`
`f`
`(3)`
`f*x`
`(4)=(2)xx(3)`
`(x-bar x)`
`(5)`
`f*(x-bar x)`
`(6)=(3)xx(5)`
`f*(x-bar x)^2`
`(7)=(5)xx(6)`
`f*(x-bar x)^3`
`(8)=(5)xx(7)`

155-1.2-67.2-8.64
21020-0.2-20.4-0.08
36180.84.83.843.072
43121.85.49.7217.496
---------------------
--`n=25``sum f*x=55`--`=0``=26``=1.2`


Population Standard deviation `sigma = sqrt((sum f*(x - bar x)^2)/n)`

`=sqrt(26/25)`

`=sqrt(1.04)`

`=1.0198`



Population Skewness `= (sum f*(x - bar x)^3)/(n*S^3)`

`=1.2/(25*(1.0198)^3)`

`=1.2/(25*1.0606)`

`=0.0453`


2. Calculate Population Skewness from the following grouped data
XFrequency
103
1112
1218
1312
143


Solution:
Skewness :
Mean `bar x=(sum f x)/n`

`=576/48`

`=12`

`x`
`(2)`
`f`
`(3)`
`f*x`
`(4)=(2)xx(3)`
`(x-bar x)`
`(5)`
`f*(x-bar x)`

---------------------
--`n=48``sum f*x=576`--`=0``=48``=0`


Population Standard deviation `sigma = sqrt((sum f*(x - bar x)^2)/n)`

`=sqrt(48/48)`

`=sqrt(1)`

`=1`



Population Skewness `= (sum f*(x - bar x)^3)/(n*S^3)`

`=0/(48*(1)^3)`

`=0/(48*1)`

`=0`


3. Calculate Population Skewness from the following grouped data
ClassFrequency
2 - 43
4 - 64
6 - 82
8 - 101


Solution:
Skewness :
Mean `bar x=(sum f x)/(sum f)`

`=52/10`

`=5.2`

Class
`(1)`
Mid value (`x`)
`(2)`
`f`
`(3)`
`f*x`
`(4)=(2)xx(3)`
`(x-bar x)`
`(5)`
`f*(x-bar x)`
`(6)=(3)xx(5)`
`f*(x-bar x)^2`
`(7)=(5)xx(6)`
`f*(x-bar x)^3`
`(8)=(5)xx(7)`

------------------------
----`n=10``sum f*x=52`--`=0``=35.6``=34.56`


Population Standard deviation `sigma = sqrt((sum f*(x - bar x)^2)/n)`

`=sqrt(35.6/10)`

`=sqrt(3.56)`

`=1.8868`



Population Skewness `= (sum f*(x - bar x)^3)/(n*S^3)`

`=34.56/(10*(1.8868)^3)`

`=34.56/(10*6.717)`

`=0.5145`


4. Calculate Population Skewness from the following grouped data
ClassFrequency
0 - 25
2 - 416
4 - 613
6 - 87
8 - 105
10 - 124


Solution:
Skewness :
Mean `bar x=(sum f x)/(sum f)`

`=256/50`

`=5.12`

Class
`(1)`
Mid value (`x`)
`(2)`
`f`
`(3)`

------------------------
----`n=50``sum f*x=256`--`=0``=395.28``=649.6128`


Population Standard deviation `sigma = sqrt((sum f*(x - bar x)^2)/n)`

`=sqrt(395.28/50)`

`=sqrt(7.9056)`

`=2.8117`



Population Skewness `= (sum f*(x - bar x)^3)/(n*S^3)`

`=649.6128/(50*(2.8117)^3)`

`=649.6128/(50*22.2281)`

`=0.5845`
