Some people say the elderly people are more likely to be infected (Claim A), and the survivors are mostly younger (Claim B). We would like to take a case from a country to see if these claims are reliable. City B had few hundreds of COVID-19 infected cases in 2020, and we took the COVID-19 cases in Hospital C in this city for the calculation. These are the figures of the confirmed infected cases in C hospital: Survival cases' age: 65, 88, 23, 8, 45, 55, 32, 22, 42, 65, 51, 15, 27, 65, 34, 13, 25, 31, 58, 32, 45, 67, 30, 58, 74 Confirmed death cases' age: 90, 18, 43, 67, 88, 89, 28, 55, 32, 66, 42, 49, 76, 59, 63, 2, 60, 84 The questions are to follow: a. First of all, from the age figures of the infected cases above, can you tell us if the infected cases' age is normally or skewed distributed (please show the calculations)? (5 points)
