To compute the first three moments about the mean and the skewness for the given data, follow these steps:

Step 1: Calculate the Mean (μ) of the data set:
μ = (18 + 21 + 20 + 17 + 24 + 22 + 16 + 25 + 15 + 20) / 10
μ = 198 / 10
μ = 19.8 liters

Step 2: Calculate the first moment about the mean (Raw Moment):
The first moment about the mean is given by:
M₁ = Σ(xi - μ), for all data points xi
M₁ = (18 - 19.8) + (21 - 19.8) + (20 - 19.8) + (17 - 19.8) + (24 - 19.8) + (22 - 19.8) + (16 - 19.8) + (25 - 19.8) + (15 - 19.8) + (20 - 19.8)
M₁ = (-1.8) + (1.2) + (0.2) + (-2.8) + (4.2) + (2.2) + (-3.8) + (5.2)
