    This document contains instructions for a group assignment on probability and statistics. It includes data showing the weekly expenditures of 30 households. Students are asked to: (1) construct a frequency distribution table using classes with a width of $4 and a lower boundary of $0; (2) determine the arithmetic mean; (3) calculate the standard deviation; (4) compute the coefficient of skewness; and (5) comment on the nature of the distribution based on the calculations. The assignment is to be completed in groups of three students at most.

    Instruction: This assignment is to be done in groups of not more than Three (3)
    students and submitted at the end of the class
    Question 1 [15 Marks].
    The following data shows the weekly expenditures (in dollars) for 30 randomly
    selected households.

    19.31 11.15 7.73 12.00 7.58 16.35

    (a) Construct a frequency distribution table using less than method to write
    classes. Take $0 as the lower boundary of the first class and $4 as the
    width of each class. (3 Marks
    Hence determine
    (b) arithmetic Mean using an assumed mean weight of 125.5 Kgs.
    (3 Marks)
    (c) Standard deviation (4 Marks)
    (d) Coefficient of skewness (3 Mark)
    (e) Comment on the nature of the distribution (1 Mark)
