Probability and Statistics

The document contains questions about statistical concepts such as correlation, moments, skewness, kurtosis, and coefficients including Pearson's coefficient of skewness. It asks the reader to calculate various statistical values from data provided in frequency distributions or individual observations. It covers calculating measures of central tendency, dispersion, correlation and applying formulas for skewness and kurtosis. The questions are split into three sections with the first being multiple choice, the second showing calculations, and the third involving word problems.
