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

4n² - 15n + 14<span> is always the product of two numbers, for it to be prime number, one of these factors must be either 1 or -1.

Case n - 2 = 1
That would be n = 3
Then </span>4n² - 15n + 14<span> = 5 , which is prime.

Case n - 2 = -1
That would be n = 1
Then </span>4n<span>² - 15n + 14 = 3, which is also prime.

Case 4n - 7 = 1
That would be n = 2 and that makes other factor (n-2) zero so it's not prime

Case 4n-7 = -1
That would be n = 3/2 which is not integer, so </span>4n<span>² - 15n + 14 will not be interger.

For any other n values, </span>4n<span>² - 15n + 14 will be composite number since it is product of two factors.

Therefore we are left with n = 1 and n = 3; only two values of n.</span>
