1. Calculate Sample Kurtosis from the following grouped data
XFrequency

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

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


Sample Standard deviation `S = sqrt((sum (x - bar x)^2)/(n-1))`

`=sqrt(26/24)`

`=sqrt(1.0833)`

`=1.0408`



Sample Kurtosis `= (sum(x - bar x)^4)/((n-1)*S^4)`

`=67.76/(24*(1.0408)^4)`

`=67.76/(24*1.1736)`

`=2.4057`


2. Calculate Sample Kurtosis from the following grouped data

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

`=576/48`

`=12`

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


Sample Standard deviation `S = sqrt((sum (x - bar x)^2)/(n-1))`

`=sqrt(48/47)`

`=sqrt(1.0213)`

`=1.0106`



Sample Kurtosis `= (sum(x - bar x)^4)/((n-1)*S^4)`

`=120/(47*(1.0106)^4)`

`=120/(47*1.043)`

`=2.4479`


3. Calculate Sample Kurtosis from the following grouped data

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


Sample Standard deviation `S = sqrt((sum (x - bar x)^2)/(n-1))`

`=sqrt(35.6/9)`

`=sqrt(3.9556)`

`=1.9889`



Sample Kurtosis `= (sum(x - bar x)^4)/((n-1)*S^4)`

`=299.792/(9*(1.9889)^4)`

`=299.792/(9*15.6464)`

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


Sample Standard deviation `S = sqrt((sum (x - bar x)^2)/(n-1))`

`=sqrt(395.28/49)`

`=sqrt(8.0669)`

`=2.8402`



Sample Kurtosis `= (sum(x - bar x)^4)/((n-1)*S^4)`

`=7766.0233/(49*(2.8402)^4)`

`=7766.0233/(49*65.0755)`

`=2.4355`
