Last summer, one of your friends was very bored. In order to keep herself engaged, she thought of undertaking a statistics project. Hence, she started surveying people around the ASU campus and collected information on their gender, age (in years), monthly household income, and the number of hours they spent in front of the television every day. However, she soon felt that statistics was driving her to further boredom. Thus, she stopped after collecting 5 observations. State the sign of skewness for Age.
