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


Solution:
Kurtosis :
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)`
`f*(x-bar x)^4`
`(9)=(5)xx(8)`

------------------------
--`n=25``sum f*x=55`--`=0``=26``=1.2``=67.76`


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

`=sqrt(26/25)`

`=sqrt(1.04)`

`=1.0198`



Population Kurtosis `= (sum f*(x - bar x)^4)/(n*S^4)`

`=67.76/(25*(1.0198)^4)`

`=67.76/(25*1.0816)`

`=2.5059`

------------------------
--`n=48``sum f*x=576`--`=0``=48``=0``=120`


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

`=sqrt(48/48)`

`=sqrt(1)`

`=1`



Population Kurtosis `= (sum f*(x - bar x)^4)/(n*S^4)`

`=120/(48*(1)^4)`

`=120/(48*1)`

`=2.5`


3. Calculate Population Kurtosis from the following grouped data

---------------------------
----`n=10``sum f*x=52`--`=0``=35.6``=34.56``=299.792`


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

`=sqrt(35.6/10)`

`=sqrt(3.56)`

`=1.8868`



Population Kurtosis `= (sum f*(x - bar x)^4)/(n*S^4)`

`=299.792/(10*(1.8868)^4)`

`=299.792/(10*12.6736)`

---------------------------
----`n=50``sum f*x=256`--`=0``=395.28``=649.6128``=7766.0233`


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

`=sqrt(395.28/50)`

`=sqrt(7.9056)`

`=2.8117`



Population Kurtosis `= (sum f*(x - bar x)^4)/(n*S^4)`

`=7766.0233/(50*(2.8117)^4)`

`=7766.0233/(50*62.4985)`

`=2.4852`
