The second moment about mean of symmetrical distribution is 3.5. What must be the value of fourth moment about mean in order distribution will be lepto kurtic?

Answer: 36.75
Explanation

For a leptokurtic distribution, β₂ > 3:

β₂ = μ₄ / μ₂² > 3

Given μ₂ = 3.5:

μ₄ / (3.5)² > 3

μ₄ > 3 × 12.25

μ₄ > 36.75
