A random variable X has the following raw moments: µ′1 = 3, µ′2 = 10. Find the variance, skewness, and kurtosis if µ′3 = 23 and µ′4 = 45.
💡 Hint: Use the provided formulas to calculate each moment step-by-step.
Given a distribution with raw moments µ′1 = 5, µ′2 = 25, compute the central moments and assess the shape of the distribution.
💡 Hint: Focus on the central moments formulas and the relationship to raw moments.
