Probability and Statistics Test Set 9

This document provides measurements of nicotine content in cigarettes and acid content in air in Kolkata. It instructs the reader to: 1) Group the nicotine measurements into intervals of 0.05 and calculate descriptive statistics. 2) Group the acid content measurements into intervals of 1.0 and calculate moments and other measures. 3) Create histograms, polygons, curves and ogives from the classified nicotine and acid content data.

and kurtosis from this.
3. Prepare frequency histogram, frequency polygon, frequency curve and cumulative
frequency curve (ogive) from the classified data obtained in Problems 1 and 2.
