8 0

Answer:

0.438

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data:

980.9, 1036.5, 1099.5, 1153.9, 1409.0, 1456.4, 1718.4, 1721.2

Coefficient of skewness:

3 * (mean - median) / standard deviation

The mean of the dataset :

Σ(X) / N ; N = sample size = 8

980.9+1036.5+1099.5+1153.9+1409.0+1456.4+1718.4+1721.2

= 10575.8 / 8

= 1321.975

Median :

980.9, 1036.5, 1099.5, 1153.9, 1409.0, 1456.4, 1718.4, 1721.2

1/2(n + 1)th term

1/2(9) = 4.5th term

(1153.9+1409.0) / 2

= 1281.45

Standard deviation:

Sqrt[Σ(X - mean)²/ (N - 1)]

Using calculator :

Standard deviation estimate of population = 277.882456

Coefficient of skewness :

3(1321.975 - 1281.45) / 277.882456

121.575 / 277.882456

= 0.4375051

= 0.4375

Using software excel :

Using excel's AVERAGE, MEDIAN and STDEV.P functions, the Coefficient of skewness can be obtained using the formula :

3 * (mean - median) / standard deviation

Coefficient of skewness obtained is 0.438

School pennants cost $18 each. Ms.Lee says she will pay $146 for 7 pennants. Is her answer reasonable?
crimeas [40]

Well, all we have to do to figure out if Ms. Lee’s offer is reasonable is multiply the unit price ($18) by 7

18 x 7 = 126

Since she offered $146, she could actually purchase 8 pennants for $144

Therefore, her answer wouldn’t be reasonable

Hope this helps you

Brainliest would be appreciated!
