21. Calculate Mean:
$$\bar{x} = \frac{\sum f x}{N} = \frac{1\cdot2.5 + 3\cdot7.5 + \cdots + 38\cdot32.5}{135} = \frac{2700}{135} = 20$$
22. Calculate Median:
Median class is where cumulative frequency exceeds $\frac{N}{2} = 67.5$.
Cumulative frequencies: 1,4,17,34,61,97,135
Median class: 25–30
23. Median formula:
$$\text{Median} = l + \left(\frac{\frac{N}{2} - F}{f_m}\right) \times h$$
where $l=25$, $F=61$, $f_m=36$, $h=5$
24. Substitute:
$$= 25 + \left(\frac{67.5 - 61}{36}\right) \times 5 = 25 + 0.9 = 25.9$$
25. Calculate Mode:
Modal class is class with highest frequency: 30–35 (frequency 38)
26. Mode formula:
$$\text{Mode} = l + \frac{(f_1 - f_0)}{(2f_1 - f_0 - f_2)} \times h$$

27. Substitute:
$$= 30 + \frac{(38 - 36)}{(2\times38 - 36 - 0)} \times 5 = 30 + \frac{2}{40} \times 5 = 30 + 0.25 = 30.25$$

36. Substitute:
$$= 3 + \frac{(30 - 18)}{(2\times30 - 18 - 25)} \times 1 = 3 + \frac{12}{17} = 3.71$$
37. Calculate standard deviation $\sigma$:
$$\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{\sum f (x - \bar{x})^2}{N}} = 1.34$$
38. Calculate Karl Pearson’s coefficient of skewness:
$$\text{Skewness} = \frac{\bar{x} - \text{Mode}}{\sigma} = \frac{3.22 - 3.71}{1.34} = -0.37$$

39. Problem 5: Short note on Moments and Kurtosis.
40. Moments are quantitative measures related to shape of distribution.
- First moment: mean
- Second moment: variance
- Third moment: skewness (asymmetry)
- Fourth moment: kurtosis (peakedness)
41. Kurtosis measures tail heaviness and peak sharpness.
- High kurtosis: heavy tails, sharp peak
- Low kurtosis: light tails, flat peak
42. Moments help describe distribution shape beyond mean and variance.
