Theory
Measure of Dispersion
Skewness is the lack of symmetry for any frequency distribution . Measure gives
direction of the variation
Kurtosis gives the shape of frequency distribution .

Interpretation
1 The given data has 40 entries.
2 The frequency distribution of the data is drawn and which tell us that values
(90,80,72,71,62) repeated twice and rest have frequency of one .
3 The measure of Dispersion is also calculated:(a) Range :- 75.000
(b) Standard Deviation :- 22.939532
(c) Variance :- 526.222
4 The measure of Skewness calculated: -.545

Which is negative i.e Frequency Distribution is negatively skewed.

5 The measure of Kurtosis is calculated : -0.910
Which tell us that frequency distribution is playtokurtic
6 The Histogram generated shows that data is concentric near range (60-80).
