The Following Data Refers The Marks of 25 Students in Aptitude Test

The document presents a detailed statistical analysis of the marks obtained by 25 students in an aptitude test, including the construction of a frequency distribution table and an ogive curve. It calculates various statistical measures such as mean, median, mode, quantiles, and deviations, as well as the first four central moments. The analysis concludes that the distribution is positively skewed and lepto-kurtic.

The following data refers the marks of 25 students in aptitude test:

20,10,23,15,17,14,13,19,25,24,28,35,31,26,27,19,23,21,24,17,12,23,22,24,18

a) Construct frequency distribution table by taking a suitable class interval


b) Construct an ogive curve
c) Find mean,median, mode and upper quantile
d) Find Q1, P30, P50 and D7
e) Find quartile deviation, mean deviation, standard deviation and coefficient of variation.
f) Calculate the first four central moments
g) Comment on the shape characteristic of the distribution.

Solution: We have N=25. Lowest value =10, Highest value=35

Range, R = 35-10=25

K=1+3.3logN=1+3.3log25=1+3.3* 1.397=5.61 6

Coefficient of Kurtosis, = 3.13

since and therefore, the given distribution is positively skewed and lepto
kurtic
