Answer:
a) The third quartile Q₃ = 56.45
b) Variance 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
= 30.8
Median
= 48.5
Mean = 42
a) The mean is less than median; thus the expression showing the coefficient of skewness is given by the formula :




Divide both sides by 1.38

b) The objective here is to determine the approximate value of the variance;
Using the relation






Variance = 

check the template in the picture below.
so the graph of f(x) is simply expanded horizontally, meaning the value A*B changed to something less than 1.

If y>0 then y has to be 1 or more so
8= x+y
8= x + 1
-1
7= x
so x is < 8
Answer is A
