    This document contains instructions for a statistics exam asking students to analyze data on engineering students' exam marks. It provides the frequency distribution of marks scored in ranges and asks students to (1) calculate the 7th decile, 57th percentile, modal, and median marks, (2) use the assumed mean method to find the mean and standard deviation of marks, and (3) calculate and interpret the coefficient of kurtosis.

    The table below shows the distribution of marks scored by 2nd year Engineering students
    in a statistics course:
    Marks 20-29 30-39 40-49 50-59 60-69 70-79 80-89 90-99
    Freq. 4 7 8 9 11 15 8 5

    a) From the data above, calculate


    i) The 7th decile of the students’ marks. (3 Marks)
    ii) The 57th percentile of the students’ marks. (3 Marks)
    iii) The modal Mark (3 Marks)
    iv) The Median Mark (3 Marks)
    v) Bowley’s coefficient of Skewness (8 marks)
    b) Using the assumed mean method, calculate
    i) The mean mark of the students (3 Marks)
    ii) The standard deviation of students’ marks (5 Marks)
    c) Calculate the coefficient of kurtosis and interpret your results (6 marks)
