Determine the mean, median, and the standard deviation. b. Determine the coefficient of skewness using Pearson’s method.

Explanation / Answer

a. The mean, xbar=sigma x/n, where, x is the salary of players, n is the number of players.

=(30000000+...+7500000)/32=212982289/32=6655696.875

For median arrange data in ascending order. For even numbered data (n=32), the median is the average of the two middlemost numbers that is 16th and 17th. Median, Md=(2000000+2800000)/2=2400000.

Standard deviation, sd=sqrt[1/n-1 sigm a(x-xbar)^2]

=sqrt[1/32-1 {(30000000-2400000)^2+...+(7500000-2400000)^2}]=8063029.973

b. Pearson coefficient of skewness=3(Xbar-Md)/sd

=3(6655697-240000)/8063030=2.38
