1. Calculate Population Skewness from the following data
`85,96,76,108,85,80,100,85,70,95`Solution:Skewness :Mean `bar x=(sum x)/n`
`=(85+96+76+108+85+80+100+85+70+95)/10`
`=880/10`
`=88`
| `x` | `(x - bar x)` `= (x - 88)` | `(x - bar x)^2` `= (x - 88)^2` | `(x - bar x)^3` `= (x - 88)^3` |
| 85 | -3 | 9 | -27 |
| 96 | 8 | 64 | 512 |
| 76 | -12 | 144 | -1728 |

| 85 | -3 | 9 | -27 |
| 80 | -8 | 64 | -512 |
| 100 | 12 | 144 | 1728 |
| 85 | -3 | 9 | -27 |
| 70 | -18 | 324 | -5832 |
| 95 | 7 | 49 | 343 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 880 | 0 | 1216 | 2430 |
Population Standard deviation `sigma = sqrt((sum (x - bar x)^2)/n)`
`=sqrt(1216/10)`
`=sqrt(121.6)`
`=11.0272`
Population Skewness `= (sum(x - bar x)^3)/(n*S^3)`
`=2430/(10*(11.0272)^3)`
`=2430/(10*1340.9123)`
`=0.1812`
2. Calculate Population Skewness from the following data
`10,50,30,20,10,20,70,30`Solution:Skewness :Mean `bar x=(sum x)/n`
`=(10+50+30+20+10+20+70+30)/8`
`=240/8`
`=30`
| `x` | `(x - bar x)` `= (x - 30)` | `(x - bar x)^2` `= (x - 30)^2` | `(x - bar x)^3` `= (x - 30)^3` |
| 10 | -20 | 400 | -8000 |
| 50 | 20 | 400 | 8000 |

| 70 | 40 | 1600 | 64000 |
| 30 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 240 | 0 | 3000 | 54000 |
Population Standard deviation `sigma = sqrt((sum (x - bar x)^2)/n)`
`=sqrt(3000/8)`
`=sqrt(375)`
`=19.3649`
Population Skewness `= (sum(x - bar x)^3)/(n*S^3)`
`=54000/(8*(19.3649)^3)`
`=54000/(8*7261.8438)`
`=0.9295`
3. Calculate Population Skewness from the following data
`73,70,71,73,68,67,69,72,76,71`Solution:Skewness :Mean `bar x=(sum x)/n`
`=(73+70+71+73+68+67+69+72+76+71)/10`
`=710/10`
`=71`
| `x` | `(x - bar x)` `= (x - 71)` | `(x - bar x)^2` `= (x - 71)^2` | `(x - bar x)^3` `= (x - 71)^3` |
| 73 | 2 | 4 | 8 |
| 70 | -1 | 1 | -1 |
| 71 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 73 | 2 | 4 | 8 |

| 67 | -4 | 16 | -64 |
| 69 | -2 | 4 | -8 |
| 72 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 76 | 5 | 25 | 125 |
| 71 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 710 | 0 | 64 | 42 |
Population Standard deviation `sigma = sqrt((sum (x - bar x)^2)/n)`
`=sqrt(64/10)`
`=sqrt(6.4)`
`=2.5298`
Population Skewness `= (sum(x - bar x)^3)/(n*S^3)`
`=42/(10*(2.5298)^3)`
`=42/(10*16.1909)`
`=0.2594`
