Answer

a. PC=2, positively skewed b. PC=-2.25, negatively skewed c. PC=0, symmetric d. PC=0.3, positively skewed slightly

Work Step by Step

Use the given formula: a. Mean =10, median= 8, standard deviation = 3. PC=2, positively skewed b. Mean = 42, median = 45, standard deviation = 4. PC=-2.25, negatively skewed c. Mean = 18.6, median = 18.6, standard deviation = 1.5. PC=0, symmetric d. Mean = 98, median= 97.6, standard deviation= 4. PC=0.3, positively skewed slightly
