1a. What are the values for mean, mode, median, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation?
Mean = 38.075
Mode = 38
Median = 34.5
Standard Deviation = 14.0756
Coefficient of Variation = 0.36968

1b. Based on the values for mean, mode, and median, what statement can be made related to skewn

As mean > median so the data seems positively or right skewed.

1c. What is the interpretation of the value for coefficient of variation? (i.e. explain what it does it mean
COV=100%)

The standard deviation is 36.97% of the mean.

1d. Is the data for problem 3.40 mesokurtic, leptokurtic, or platylurtic? Justify your answer using desc

As the coefficient of kurtosis is positive so this is a mesokurtic data.
