a) Here,

As we know that for trimmed mean, We remove 20% from top and 20% form bottom values.

Therefore,

Excel Function: TRIMMEAN(A1:A60,0.40)

 

b) Computation of No. of Observations (Trimmed in Each Tail):

Number of Observations = 60*0.20 = 12

 

c) Computation of No. of Observations (Trimmed Overall):

Number of Observations = 12+12 = 24
