A discrete random variable can only take the values 2,3,4 or 5. The probabilities associated with some of the outcomes are: P(X=2) = 0.2, P(X=3) = 0.3, P(X=5) = 0.1.
For a randomly drawn value of X, calculate P(X>3).
Consider a function f which has three variables, x1, x2 and x3.

The stem and leaf chart below shows the ages of all the pensioners in a small village.

For random variable X, use the following statistics to calculate its coefficient of skewness based on central moments.
E(X) = 3.940
E(X2) = 21.466
skew(X) = E[(X - μ)3] = 6.008
Identify which of the following statements are true.
I. Skewness measures how peaked a set of data is.
II. Skewness is a measure of asymmetry of the distribution of the data about its mean.
III. For a symmetrically distributed data, the mean equals the median but not necessarily the mode.
IV. The value of a measure of skewness can be positive, zero or negative.
