Raw Moments –

The moment around origin A = 0 known as raw moment and is defined as:

For ungrouped data, For grouped data, where, 

Notes: 

-> We can find first raw moment () just by replacing r with 1 and second raw moment () just by replacing r with 2 and so on. -> When r = 0 the moment for both grouped and ungrouped data.

ML | Raw and Central Moments

Moments are a set of statistical parameters which are used to describe different characteristics and feature of a frequency distribution i.e. central tendency, dispersion, symmetry, and peakedness (hump) of the frequency curve. For Ungrouped data i.e. discrete data, observations on a variable X are obtained as , For Grouped data i.e. continuous data, observations on a variable X are obtained and tabulated in K class intervals in a frequency table. The mid points of the intervals are denoted by which occur with frequencies respectively and .

Moments about an arbitrary point A The moment of a variable X about any arbitrary point A on the observations is defined as:
