Example 9. Find Bowley’s coefficient of skewness for the following frequency distribution:
No. of children per family: | 0 2 3 4 5 6
No. of families: 7 1 | 2 | is | 8
Solution: Calculation of Bowley’s Coefficient of Skewness
Bowley’s coefficient of skewness is given by
Q3+Qi-2M
23-2
th
Q,=Size o( 24) item =" -4item
Coefficient of Sk= Size of 24" item is 2. Hence, Q, =2
Q3 = Size of MAD item 3) = 72th item
Size of 72" item is 4. Hence, Q, = 4
Me Size of (0 +18h item = 751 = 48th item.
Size of 48th item is 3. Hence, Median =3
