σ4
Use the formula for μ4 obtained in Exercise 25 to find
α4 for each of the following symmetrical distributions,
of which the first is more peaked (narrow humped) than
the second:
(a) f(−3) = 0.06, f(−2) = 0.09, f(−1) = 0.10, f(0) =
0.50, f(1) = 0.10, f(2) = 0.09, and f(3) = 0.06;
(b) f(−3) = 0.04, f(−2) = 0.11, f(−1) = 0.20, f(0) =
0.30, f(1) = 0.20, f(2) = 0.11, and f(3) = 0.04.
