Answer 1

$c_i-middles\,\,of\,\,the\,\,intervals\\w_i-frequencies\\\mu =\frac{\sum{c_iw_i}}{\sum{w_i}}=27\\Central\,\,moments:\\\mu _1=\mu -\mu =0\\\mu _2=\frac{\sum{\left( c_i-\mu \right) ^2w_i}}{\sum{w_i}}=78.125\\\mu _3=\frac{\sum{\left( c_i-\mu \right) ^3w_i}}{\sum{w_i}}=333.333\\\mu _4=\frac{\sum{\left( c_i-\mu \right) ^4w_i}}{\sum{w_i}}=15703.13$
