Question:1

Find the mean deviation about the mean of the distribution:
\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|} \hline \text { Size } & 20 & 21 & 22 & 23 & 24 \\ \hline \text { Frequency } & 6 & 4 & 5 & 1 & 4 \\ \hline \end{array}

Answer:

We have to find the mean deviation about the mean of the distribution in this question.

Let us make a table of the given data and fill up the other columns after calculations

\begin{array}{|l|l|l|} \hline \text { Size }\left(x_{i}\right) & \text { Frequency }\left(f_{i}\right) & f_{i} x_{i} \\ \hline 20 & 6 & 120 \\ \hline 21 & 4 & 84 \\ \hline 22 & 5 & 110 \\ \hline 23 & 1 & 23 \\ \hline 24 & 4 & 96 \\ \hline \text { Total } & 20 & 433 \\ \hline \end{array}
\text{Here, mean }\overline{X~}=\frac{ \Sigma f_{i}x_{i}}{ \Sigma f_{i}}=\frac{433}{20}=21.65 \\\\ \\ \text{ So the above table can be rewritten as } \\\\
\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|l|} \hline \text { Size }\left(x_{i}\right) & \text { Frequency }\left(f_{i}\right) & f_{i} x_{i} & d_{i}=\left|x_{i}-\bar{x}\right| & f_{i} d_{i} \\ \hline 20 & 6 & 120 & 1.65 & 9.90 \\ \hline 21 & 4 & 84 & 0.65 & 2.60 \\ \hline 22 & 5 & 110 & 0.35 & 1.75 \\ \hline 23 & 1 & 23 & 1.35 & 1.35 \\ \hline 24 & 4 & 96 & 2.35 & 9.40 \\ \hline \text { Total } & 20 & 433 & 6.35 & 25.00 \\ \hline \end{array}

Hence, mean deviation becomes= \frac{ \Sigma f_{i}(x_{i}-\bar{x_{i}})}{ \Sigma f_{i}}=\frac{25}{20}=1.25~ \\\\

Question:2

Find the mean deviation about the median of the following distribution:

\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|} \hline \text { Marks obtained } & 10 & 11 & 12 & 14 & 15 \\ \hline \text { No. of students } & 2 & 3 & 8 & 3 & 4 \\ \hline \end{array}

Answer:

The data distribution is given in the question.

We have to find the mean deviation about the median of the distribution in this question.

Let us make a table of the given data and fill up the other columns after calculations

\begin{array}{|l|l|l|} \hline \text { Marks obtained }\left(x_{i}\right) & \text { Number of students }\left(f_{i}\right) & \text { Cumulative frequency } \\ \hline 10 & 2 & 2 \\ \hline 11 & 3 & 5 \\ \hline 12 & 8 & 13 \\ \hline 14 & 3 & 16 \\ \hline 15 & 4 & 20 \\ \hline \text { Total } & 20 & \\ \hline \end{array}

\\ \text{Now here N=20 which is even}.\\\\ Here, median \( M= \frac{1}{2} \left[ \left( \frac{N}{2} \right) ^{th}observation+ \left( \frac{N}{2}+1 \right) ^{th}~observation \right] ~ \\ \\ ~ M=\frac{1}{2} \left[ \left( \frac{20}{2} \right) ^{th} observation+ \left( \frac{20}{2}+1 \right) ^{th}~observation~ \right] ~~ \\\\ \\ ~ M=\frac{1}{2}~ \left[ 10^{th}observation+11^{th}observation~ \right] ~~ \\\\ \\ \text{ Both these observations lie in cumulative frequency 13, for which corresponding observation is 12 } \\\\ \\ M=\frac{1}{2} \left[ 12+12 \right] =12 \\\\ \\ \text{~ So the above updated table is as shown below } \\\\

\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|l|} \hline \begin{array}{l} \text { Marks obtained } \\ \left(x_{i}\right) \end{array} & \begin{array}{l} \text { Number of } \\ \text { students }\left(f_{i}\right) \end{array} & \begin{array}{l} \text { Cumulative } \\ \text { frequency } \end{array} & d_{i}=\left|x_{i}-M\right| & f_{i} d_{i} \\ \hline 10 & 2 & 2 & 2 & 4 \\ \hline 11 & 3 & 5 & 1 & 3 \\ \hline 12 & 8 & 13 & 0 & 0 \\ \hline 14 & 3 & 16 & 2 & 6 \\ \hline 15 & 4 & 20 & 3 & 12 \\ \hline \text { Total } & 20 & & 6.35 & 25 \\ \hline \end{array}

Hence, mean deviation becomes=\frac{ \Sigma f_{i}x_{i}}{ \Sigma f_{i}}=\frac{25}{20}=1.25~ \\\\

Question:3

Calculate the mean deviation about the mean of the set of first n natural numbers when n is an odd number.

Answer:

Set of first n natural numbers when n is an odd number is given

We have to find the mean deviation about the mean

We know that first natural numbers are 1, 2, 3 ……. , n .

It is given that n is odd number.

So, mean is

\\ \\ \overline{x}=\frac{1+2+3+ \ldots ..+n}{n}=\frac{\frac{n \left( n+1 \right) }{2}}{n}=\frac{n+1}{2}~ \\\\ \\ \text{~~The deviations of numbers from the mean are as shown below, } \\\\ \\ ~ 1-\frac{n+1}{2},~ 2-\frac{n+1}{2} , \ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots \left( n-1 \right) -\frac{n-1}{2}~,~ n-\frac{n+1}{2}~ \\\\ \\ ~Or,\frac{2- \left( n+1 \right) }{2}~,\frac{4- \left( n+1 \right) }{2} \ldots \ldots \ldots . \frac{2 \left( n-1 \right) - \left( n+1 \right) }{2},~\frac{2n- \left( n+1 \right) }{2}~ \\\\


\\ \\ \text{~~~ Or, }\frac{1-n}{2},\frac{3-n}{2}~,~\frac{5-n}{2} \ldots \ldots .\frac{n-3}{2}~,\frac{n-1}{2}~~~ \\\\ \\ ~~\frac{- \left( n-1 \right) }{2},~\frac{- \left( n-3 \right) }{2},\frac{- \left( n-5 \right) }{2} , \ldots \ldots , \frac{n-5}{2},\frac{n-3}{2},\frac{n-1}{2} \\\\ \\ \text{~ So the absolute values of deviation from the mean is } \vert x_{i}-\overline{x}~ \vert =\frac{n-1}{2},~\frac{n-3}{2}~,\frac{n-5}{2}, \ldots \ldots .\frac{n-5}{2},\frac{n-3}{2},\frac{n-1}{2}~~ \\\\ \\ \text{~ The sum of absolute values of deviations from the mean, is } \Sigma \vert x_{i}-\overline{x}~ \vert =\frac{n-1}{2}+\frac{n-3}{2}+\frac{n-5}{2}+ \ldots \ldots \frac{n-5}{2}+\frac{n-3}{2}+\frac{n-1}{2}~~~~~~ \\\\


\\ \\ \Sigma \vert x_{i}-\overline{x}~ \vert =2 \left( 1+2+3+ \ldots \ldots .+\frac{n-5}{2}+\frac{n-3}{2}+\frac{n-1}{2} \right) ~ \\\\ \\ \text{~ That is 2 times the sum of }\frac{n-1}{2}\text{terms,~so it can be written as } \Sigma \vert x_{i}-\overline{x}~ \vert =2 \left( \frac{\frac{n-1}{2} \left( \frac{n-1}{2}+1 \right) }{2} \right) =n \left( \frac{n-1}{2} \right) \left( \frac{n+1}{2} \right) = \left( \frac{n^{2}-1}{4} \right) ~ \\\\ \\ \text{~~ Therefore, mean deviation about the mean is }\frac{ \Sigma \vert x_{i}-\overline{x}~ \vert }{n}=\frac{ \left( \frac{n^{2}-1}{4} \right) }{n}= \left( \frac{n^{2}-1}{4n} \right) ~~ \\\\

Question:4

Calculate the mean deviation about the mean of the set of first n natural numbers when n is an even number.

Answer:

Set of first n natural numbers when n is an even number is given

We have to find the mean deviation about the mean

We know that first natural numbers are 1, 2, 3 ……. , n .

It is given that n is an even number.

So, mean is

\\ \\ \overline{x}=\frac{1+2+3+ \ldots ..+n}{n}=\frac{\frac{n \left( n+1 \right) }{2}}{n}=\frac{n+1}{2}~ \\\\ \\ \text{~~The deviations of numbers from the mean are as shown below, } \\\\ \\ ~ 1-\frac{n+1}{2},~ 2-\frac{n+1}{2} , \ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots \left( n-1 \right) -\frac{n-1}{2}~,~ n-\frac{n+1}{2}~ \\\\ \\ ~Or,\frac{2- \left( n+1 \right) }{2}~,\frac{4- \left( n+1 \right) }{2} \ldots \ldots \ldots . \frac{2 \left( n-1 \right) - \left( n+1 \right) }{2},~\frac{2n- \left( n+1 \right) }{2}~ \\\\
\\ \\ \text{~~~ Or, }\frac{1-n}{2},\frac{3-n}{2}~,~\frac{5-n}{2} \ldots \ldots .\frac{n-3}{2}~,\frac{n-1}{2}~~~ \\\\ \\ ~~\frac{- \left( n-1 \right) }{2},~\frac{- \left( n-3 \right) }{2},\frac{- \left( n-5 \right) }{2} , \ldots \ldots , \frac{n-5}{2},\frac{n-3}{2},\frac{n-1}{2} \\\\ \\ \text{~ So the absolute values of deviation from the mean is } \vert x_{i}-\overline{x}~ \vert =\frac{n-1}{2},~\frac{n-3}{2}~,\frac{n-5}{2}, \ldots \ldots .\frac{n-5}{2},\frac{n-3}{2},\frac{n-1}{2}~~ \\\\ \\ \text{~ The sum of absolute values of deviations from the mean, is } \Sigma \vert x_{i}-\overline{x}~ \vert =\frac{n-1}{2}+\frac{n-3}{2}+\frac{n-5}{2}+ \ldots \ldots \frac{n-5}{2}+\frac{n-3}{2}+\frac{n-1}{2}~~~~~~ \\\\ \Sigma \vert x_{i}-\overline{x}~ \vert = \left( \frac{1}{2}+\frac{3}{2}+ \ldots \ldots .+\frac{n-5}{2}+\frac{n-3}{2}+\frac{n-1}{2} \right) ~ \left( \frac{n}{2} \right)


\\\text{We know that sum of first n natural numbers }= \( n^{2} \) \\ \vspace{\baselineskip} \\ \text{ Therefore, mean deviation about the mean is }\frac{ \Sigma \vert x_{i}-\overline{x}~ \vert }{n}=\frac{ \left( \frac{1}{2}+\frac{3}{2}+ \ldots ..+\frac{n-1}{2} \right) \left( \frac{n}{2} \right) }{n}~ \\\\ \\ =\frac{ \left( \frac{n}{2} \right) ^{2}}{n}=\frac{n^{2}}{4n}=\frac{n}{4} \\\\

Question:9

The frequency distribution:
\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|} \hline \mathrm{x} & \mathrm{A} & 2 \mathrm{A} & 3 \mathrm{A} & 4 \mathrm{A} & 5 \mathrm{A} & 6 \mathrm{A} \\ \hline \mathrm{f} & 2 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 \\ \hline \end{array}
where A is a positive integer, has a variance of 160. Determine the value of A.

Answer:

A frequency distribution table is given where variance =160. We have to find the value of A, where A is a positive number. Let us make a table from the given data and fill out the other columns after calculation
\begin{array}{|l|l|l|c|} \hline \text { Size }\left(x_{i}\right) & \text { Frequency }\left(f_{i}\right) & f_{i} x_{i} & f_{i} x_{i}^{2} \\ \hline \text { A } & 2 & 2 \mathrm{A} & 2 A^{2} \\ \hline 2 \mathrm{A} & 1 & 2 \mathrm{A} & 4 A^{2} \\ \hline 3 \mathrm{A} & 1 & 3 \mathrm{A} & 9 A^{2} \\ \hline 4 \mathrm{A} & 1 & 4 \mathrm{A} & 16 A^{2} \\ \hline 5 \mathrm{A} & 1 & 5 \mathrm{A} & 25 \mathrm{A}^{2} \\ \hline 6 \mathrm{A} & 1 & 6 \mathrm{A} & 36 A^{2} \\ \hline \text { Total } & \mathrm{N}=7 & 22 \mathrm{A} & 92 \mathrm{A}^{2} \\ \hline \end{array}

And we know that variance is \\\\ ~ \sigma ^{2}= \frac{ \Sigma f_{i}x_{i}^{2}}{n}- \left( \frac{ \Sigma f_{i}x_{i}}{n} \right) ^{2}~ \\\\


\\ \text{ Substituting the values from the above table and also given that variance}=160 \\ we~get~ 160=\frac{92A^{2}}{7}- \left( \frac{22A}{7} \right) ^{2}= \left( \frac{92A^{2}}{7}-\frac{484A^{2}}{49} \right) =\frac{7\ast92A^{2}-484A^{2}}{49}=\frac{160A^{2}}{49}~ \\\ ~~~ 160=\frac{160A^{2}}{49}~ \\\\ \\ ~~A^{2}=49 \\\\ \\ A=7 \\\\ \\ \text{ Hence, the value of A is 7} \\\\

Question:10

For the frequency distribution:
\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|} \hline \mathrm{x} & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 \\ \hline \mathrm{f} & 4 & 9 & 16 & 14 & 11 & 6 \\ \hline \end{array}
Find the standard distribution.

Answer:

A frequency distribution table is given and we have to find the standard deviation

Let us make a table from the given data and fill out the other columns after calculation

\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|} \hline \text { Size }\left(x_{i}\right) & \text { Frequency }\left(f_{i}\right) & f_{i} x_{i} & f_{i} x_{i}^{2} \\ \hline 2 & 4 & 8 & 16 \\ \hline 3 & 9 & 27 & 81 \\ \hline 4 & 16 & 64 & 256 \\ \hline 5 & 14 & 70 & 350 \\ \hline 6 & 11 & 66 & 396 \\ \hline 7 & 6 & 42 & 294 \\ \hline \text { Total } & \mathrm{N}=60 & 277 & 1393 \\ \hline \end{array}


\begin{aligned} &\text { And we know that standard deviation is }\\ &\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{\Sigma f_{i} x_{i}^{2}}{n}-\left(\frac{\Sigma f_{i} x_{i}}{n}\right)^{2}} \end{aligned}

Substituting the value from the above table

\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{1393}{60}-\left(\frac{277}{60}\right)^{2}}=\sqrt{23.23-21.34}=1.37

Question:11

There are 60 students in a class. The following is the frequency distribution of the marks obtained by the students in a test:
\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|} \hline \text { Marks } & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 \\ \hline \text { Frequency } & \mathrm{x}-2 & \mathrm{x} & \mathrm{x}^{2} & (\mathrm{x}+1)^{2} & 2 \mathrm{x} & \mathrm{x}+1 \\ \hline \end{array}
where x is a positive integer. Determine the mean and standard deviation of the marks.

Answer:

It is given that there are 60 students in a class. The frequency distribution of the marks obtained by the students in a test is also given.

We have to find the mean and standard deviation of the marks.

It is given that there are 60 students in the class, so

\\ \Sigma f_{i}=60~ \\\\ \\ \left( x-2 \right) +x+x^{2}+ \left( x+1 \right) ^{2}+2x+x+1=60~ \\\\ \\ 5x-1+x^{2}+x^{2}+2x+1=60 \\\\ \\ 2x^{2}+7x=60 \\\\ \\ \text{On factorising 2}x^{2}+7x-60=0 \\\\ \\ \text{we get } \left( 2x+15 \right) \left( x-4 \right) =0 \\\\ \\ 2x=-15 or x=4 \\\\ \\ \text{Given~that x is a positive number, so x can take 4 as the only value .} \\\\ \\ \text{And let assumed mean}, a=3 \\\\ \\ \text{Now put x=4 and a=3} \text{ in the frequency distribution table and other columns after} \\\\ \\ \text{calculations, we get } \\\\

\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|l|} \hline \text { Marks }\left(x_{i}\right) & \text { Frequency }\left(f_{i}\right) & d_{i}=x_{i}-a_{i} & f_{i} d_{i} & f_{i} d_{i}^{2} \\ \hline 0 & \mathrm{x}-2=4-2=2 & -3 & -6 & 18 \\ \hline 1 & \mathrm{X}=4 & -2 & -8 & 16 \\ \hline 2 & x^{2}=16 & -1 & -16 & 16 \\ \hline 3 & (x+1)^{2} & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ & =(4+1)^{2}=25 & & & \\ \hline 4 & 2 \mathrm{x}=2 * 4=8 & 1 & 4 & 8 \\ \hline 5 & \mathrm{X}+1=4+1=5 & 2 & 10 & 20 \\ \hline \text { Total } & \mathrm{N}=60 & 277 & =-12 & 78 \\ \hline \end{array}

And we know that standard deviation is \\\\ \sigma = \sqrt {\frac{ \Sigma f_{i}d_{i}^{2}}{n}- \left( \frac{ \Sigma f_{i}d_{i}}{n} \right) ^{2}}~ \\\\


\\ \text{Substituting the values from the above table } \sigma =\sqrt {\frac{78}{60}- \left( \frac{-12}{60} \right) ^{2}} \\\\ \\ =\sqrt {1.3- \left( 0.2 \right) ^{2}}=\sqrt {1.3-0.04}=1.12~ \\\\ \\ \text{Hence, the standard deviation is 1.12 } \\\\ \\ \text{ Now mean is }\overline{x}=A+\frac{ \Sigma f_{i}d_{i}}{N}~ =3+ \left( -\frac{12}{60} \right) =3-\frac{1}{5}=\frac{14}{5}=2.8~~ \\\\ \\ \text{Hence, the mean and standard deviation of the marks are 2.8 and 1.12 respectively} \\\\

Question:12

The mean life of a sample of 60 bulbs was 650 hours and the standard deviation was 8 hours. A second sample of 80 bulbs has a mean life of 660 hours and standard deviation 7 hours. Find the overall standard deviation.

Answer:

The mean life of a sample of 60 bulbs was 650 hours and the standard deviation was 8 hours. A second sample of 80 bulbs has a mean life of 660 hours and standard deviation 7 hours. We have to find the overall standard deviation.

As per the given criteria. In the first set of samples number of sample bulbs , \\\\ n_{1}=60 \\\\

\\ \\ \text{ Standard deviation }s_{1}=8 \text{hrs~ Mean life, }\overline{x_{1}}=650 \\\\ \\ \text{ And in second set of samples, number of sample bulbs }n_{2}=80 \text{ Standard deviation }s_{2}=7 hrs \\\\ \\ \text{~ Mean life }\overline{x_{2}}=660~ \\\\ \\ \text{We know the standard deviation for combined two series is } \\\\ \\ \sigma =\sqrt {\frac{n_{1}s_{1}^{2}+n_{2}s_{2}^{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}}+ \left( n_{1}n_{2} \right) \frac{ \left( \overline{x_{1}}-\overline{x_{2}} \right) ^{2}}{ \left( n_{1}+n_{2} \right) ^{2}}} \\ \text{Substituting the corresponding values we get} \sigma =\sqrt {\frac{60 \left( 8 \right) ^{2}+80 \left( 7 \right) ^{2}}{60+80}+\frac{ \left( 60\ast80 \right) \left( 650-660 \right) ^{2}}{ \left( 20+80 \right) ^{2}}}= \sqrt {\frac{388}{7}+\frac{1200}{49}} = \\\\ =\sqrt {\frac{3916}{49}} = 8.9\\


Question:13

Mean and standard deviation of 100 items are 50 and 4, respectively. Find the sum of all items and the sum of the squares of the items.

Answer:

Mean and standard deviation of 100 items are 50 and 4 respectively
We have to find the sum of all items and the sum of the squares of the items.
As per the question, number of items n =100
\\ \text{Mean of the given items, }\overline{x}=50~ \text{But we know}, \overline{x}=\frac{ \Sigma x_{i}}{n}~~ \\\\ \\ \text{Substituting the corresponding values we get} 50= \frac{ \Sigma x_{i}}{100}~~~~~ \Sigma x_{i}=50\ast100=5000 \\\\ \\ \text{Hence,~the sum of all the 100 items}=5000 \\\\ \\ \text{Also given that the standard deviation of the 100 items is 4} \\\\ \\ ~~ \sigma =4 \\\\

\\ \text{ But we know that } \\\\ \\ \sqrt {\frac{ \Sigma x_{i}^{2}}{n}- \left( \frac{ \Sigma x_{i}}{n} \right) ^{2}}~~~ \\\\ \\ \text{Substituting the corresponding values, we get} 4= \sqrt {\frac{ \Sigma x_{i}^{2}}{100}- \left( \frac{5000}{100} \right) ^{2}} \\\\ \\ \text{~~Now taking square on both sides, we get }4^{2}=\frac{ \Sigma x_{i}^{2}}{100}- \left( 50 \right) ^{2}~~~ \\\\
\\ ~ 16=\frac{ \Sigma x_{i}^{2}}{100}-2500~ \\\\ \\ ~~ 16+2500=\frac{ \Sigma x_{i}^{2}}{100}~~ \\\\ \\ ~~\frac{ \Sigma x_{i}^{2}}{100}=2516 \\\\ \\ ~ \Sigma x_{i}^{2}=2516\ast100=251600 \\\\

Question:14

If for a distribution $ \sum $ (x $-$ 5)=3, $ \sum $ (x $-$ 5)\textsuperscript{2} = 43 and the total number of item is 18, find the mean and standard deviation.

Answer:

\\\\ \text{It is given that for a distribution } \Sigma \left( x-5 \right) =3,~ \Sigma \left( x-5 \right) ^{2}=43 \text{ and the total number of item is 18} \\ \text{We have to find the mean and standard deviation} \\ \text{As per given criteria, Number of items, n=18}

\\ \text{~ Mean can be written as }\overline{x}=A+\frac{ \Sigma \left( x-5 \right) }{n}~~ \\ \\ \text{ Here assumed mean is 5, so substituting the corresponding values in above equation we get} \\ \\ ~\overline{x}=5+\frac{3}{18}=\frac{93}{18}=5.17~ \\ \\ \text{And we know that the standard deviation can be written as}, \sigma =\sqrt {\frac{ \Sigma \left( x-5 \right) ^{2}}{n}- \left( \frac{ \Sigma \left( x-5 \right) }{n} \right) ^{2}}~ \\

Substituting the corresponding values we get

\\ \sigma=\sqrt{\frac{43}{18}-\left(\frac{3}{18}\right)^{2}}=\sqrt{2.39-(0.166)^{2}}=\sqrt{2.39-0.027}=\sqrt{2.363}=1.54

Thus the mean and standard deviation of given items are 5.17 and 1.54 respectively.

Question:15

Find the mean and variance of the frequency distribution given below:
\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|l|} \hline \mathrm{x} & 1 \leq \mathrm{x}<3 & 3 \leq \mathrm{x}<5 & 5 \leq \mathrm{x}<7 & 7 \leq \mathrm{x}<10 \\ \hline \mathrm{f} & 6 & 4 & 5 & 1 \\ \hline \end{array}

Answer:

Frequency distribution is given. We have to find the mean and variance

Converting the ranges of x to groups the given table can be re written as

\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|l|} \hline \mathrm{X} \text { (Class) } & \text { Size }\left(x_{i}\right) & \text { Frequency }\left(f_{i}\right) & f_{i} x_{i} & f_{i} x_{i}^{2} \\ \hline 1-3 & 2 & 6 & 12 & 24 \\ \hline 3-5 & 4 & 4 & 16 & 64 \\ \hline 5-7 & 6 & 5 & 30 & 180 \\ \hline 7-10 & 8.5 & 1 & 8.5 & 72.25 \\ \hline \text { Total } & & \mathrm{N}=16 & =66.5 & 340.25 \\ \hline \end{array}

And, we know that variance is \\\\ ~ \sigma ^{2}= \frac{ \Sigma f_{i}x_{i}^{2}}{n}- \left( \frac{ \Sigma f_{i}x_{i}}{n} \right) ^{2}~ \\\\


\\ \text{~ Substituting values from above table, we get } \sigma ^{2}=\frac{340.25}{16}- \left( \frac{66.5}{16} \right) ^{2}~~~ \\\\ \\ ~ \sigma ^{2}=21.265- \left( 4.16 \right) ^{2}~=21.265-17.305=3.96~ \\\\ \\ ~mean~\overline{X~}=\frac{ \Sigma f_{i}x_{i}}{ \Sigma f_{i}}=\frac{66.5}{16}=4.16~ \\\\ \\ \text{ Hence, the mean and variance of the given frequency distribution is 4.16 and 3.96 respectively } \\\\

Question:17

Calculate the mean deviation from the median of the following data:
\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|} \hline \text { Class interval } & 0-6 & 6-12 & 12-18 & 18-24 & 24-30 \\ \hline \text { Frequency } & 4 & 5 & 3 & 6 & 2 \\ \hline \end{array}

Answer:

A frequency distribution table is given and we have to find the mean deviation about the median

Let us make a table from the given data and fill out the other columns after calculation

\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|} \hline \begin{array}{l} \text { Class } \\ \text { Interval } \end{array} & \begin{array}{l} \text { Mid value } \\ \left(x_{i}\right) \end{array} & \begin{array}{l} \text { Frequency } \\ \left(f_{i}\right) \end{array} & \begin{array}{l} \text { Cumulative } \\ \text { frequency } \\ \left(\mathrm{c}_{\mathrm{f}} f\right) \end{array} \\ \hline 0-6 & 3 & 4 & 4 \\ \hline 6-12 & 9 & 5 & 9 \\ \hline 12-18 & 15 & 3 & 12 \\ \hline 18-24 & 21 & 6 & 18 \\ \hline 24-30 & 27 & 2 & 20 \\ \hline & \text { Total } & \mathrm{N}=20 & \\ \hline \end{array}

Now here N=20, which is even

Here \text{Median Class}= \frac{N}{2}=10^{th}~term~ \\\\

\\ \text{This observation lie in the class interval 12-18, so median can be written as} \\ M=l+\frac{\frac{N}{2}-cf}{f}*h \\ \text{ Here l=12, cf=9, f=3, h=6 and N=20} \\\text{Substituting these values, the above equation becomes}, M=12+\frac{\frac{20}{2}-9}{3}*6\\ M=12+\frac{10-9}{3}*6

\\ =12+\frac{1\ast6}{3}~~ \\\\ \\ ~ M=12+2=14 \\\\

\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|l|} \hline \begin{array}{l} \text { Class } \\ \text { Interval } \end{array} & \begin{array}{l} \text { Mid value } \\ \left(x_{i}\right) \end{array} & \begin{array}{l} \text { Frequency } \\ \left(f_{i}\right) \end{array} & d_{i}=\left|x_{i}-M\right| & f_{i} d_{i} \\ \hline 0-6 & 3 & 4 & 11 & 44 \\ \hline 6-12 & 9 & 5 & 5 & 25 \\ \hline 12-18 & 15 & 3 & 1 & 3 \\ \hline 18-24 & 21 & 6 & 7 & 42 \\ \hline 24-30 & 27 & 2 & 13 & 26 \\ \hline & \text { Total } & \mathrm{N}=20 & & =140 \\ \hline \end{array}

\\ mean Deviation=\frac{ \Sigma f_{i}d_{i}}{ \Sigma f_{i}}=\frac{140}{20}=7 \\\\

Answer:

The first n terms of an A.P are given whose first term is a and common difference is d. We have to find mean and standard deviation.

The given AP in tabular form is as shown below,

\begin{array}{|l|l|l|} \hline \multicolumn{1}{|c|} {x_{i}} & \multicolumn{1}{|c|} {d_{i}=x_{i}-a} & d_{i}^{2} \\ \hline a & 0 & 0 \\ \hline a+d & d & d^{2} \\ \hline a+2 d & 2 d & 4 d^{2} \\ \hline a+3 d & 3 d & 9 d^{2} \\ \hline- & - & - \\ \hline a+(n-1) d & (n-1) d & (n-1)^{2} d^{2} \\ \hline \end{array}

Who is more intelligent and who is more consistent?

Answer:

The marks obtained, out of 100, by 2 students Ravi and Hashina in 10 tests are given
We have to find who is more intelligent and who is more consistent
The marks of Ravi taken separately as follows
\begin{array}{|l|l|l|} \hline \multicolumn{1}{|c|} {x_{i}} & \multicolumn{1}{|c|} {d_{i}=x_{i}-45} & \multicolumn{1}{|c|} {d_{i}^{2}} \\ \hline 25 & -20 & 400 \\ \hline 50 & 5 & 25 \\ \hline 45 & 0 & 0 \\ \hline 30 & -15 & 225 \\ \hline 70 & 25 & 625 \\ \hline 42 & -3 & 9 \\ \hline 36 & -9 & 81 \\ \hline 48 & 3 & 9 \\ \hline 35 & -10 & 100 \\ \hline 60 & 15 & 225 \\ \hline \text { TOTAL }=441 & =-9 & =1699 \\ \hline \end{array}
Here we have assumed 45 as mean
And we know that the standard deviation can be written as,
\\ \sigma =\sqrt {\frac{ \Sigma \left( x-a \right) ^{2}}{n}- \left( \frac{ \Sigma \left( x-a \right) }{n} \right) ^{2}}~~ \\\\ \\ \sigma =\sqrt {\frac{1699}{10}- \left( -\frac{9}{10} \right) ^{2}} =\sqrt {169.9-0.81}= \sqrt {169.09}~=13 \\\\ \\ \text{Now mean is }\overline{x}=A+\frac{ \Sigma f_{i}d_{i}}{N}~ =45- \left( \frac{9}{10} \right) =44.1~~ \\\\ \\ \text{ For Hashina} \\\\
\begin{array}{|l|l|l|} \hline \multicolumn{1}{|c|} {x_{i}} & \multicolumn{1}{|c|} {d_{i}=x_{i}-53} & \multicolumn{1}{|c|} {d_{i}^{2}} \\ \hline 10 & -43 & 1849 \\ \hline 70 & 17 & 289 \\ \hline 50 & -3 & 9 \\ \hline 20 & -33 & 1089 \\ \hline 95 & 42 & 1764 \\ \hline 55 & 2 & 4 \\ \hline 42 & -11 & 121 \\ \hline 60 & 7 & 49 \\ \hline 48 & -5 & 25 \\ \hline 80 & 27 & 729 \\ \hline \text { TOTAL }=530 & =0 & =5928 \\ \hline \end{array}
Here as \\\\ \frac{530}{10}=53~~So, 53 is mean \\\\

\sigma =\sqrt {\frac{ \Sigma \left( x-a \right) ^{2}}{n}- \left( \frac{ \Sigma \left( x-a \right) }{n} \right) ^{2}}~~ \\\\ \\ \sigma =\sqrt {\frac{5928}{10}- \left( -\frac{0}{10} \right) ^{2}} =\sqrt {592.8}=24.35 \\\\ \\ \text{ We have the mean and S.D of the Hashina and Ravi . } \\\\ \\ \text{For Ravi , C.V}=\frac{ \sigma }{\overline{x~}} * 100=\frac{13}{44.1} * 100 =29.48 \\\\
\\ For Hasina , C.V=\frac{ \sigma }{\overline{x~}} * 100=\frac{24.35}{53} * 100~=45.94~ \\\\ \\ \text{ Now as CV } \left( \text{of Ravi } \right) <\text{CV of Hasina} \\\\ \\ \text{~Hence, Ravi is more consistent } \\\\ \\ \text{ Mean of Hasina}>\text{Mean of Ravi } \\\\ \\ \text{~ Hence, Hasina is more intelligent} \\\\

Question:22

Mean and standard deviation of 100 observations were found to be 40 and 10, respectively. If at the time of calculation two observations were wrongly taken as 30 and 70 in place of 3 and 27 respectively, find the correct standard deviation.
Answer:

Mean and standard deviation of 100 observations were found to be 40 and 10, respectively.
If at the time of calculation two observations were wrongly taken as 30 and 70 in place of 3 and 27
respectively.
We have to find the correct standard deviation
As per the given criteria, Number of observations, n=100
Mean of the given observations before correction,\\\\ \overline{X~}=40 \\\\

But we know \\\overline{X~}=\frac{ \Sigma x_{i}}{n}~~ \\\\

Substituting the corresponding values, we get 40=\frac{ \Sigma x_{i}}{100}~~ \\\\


\\ \\ ~~ \Sigma x_{i}=40 * 100=4000~ \\\\ \\ \text{It is given in the question that 2 observations were wrongly taken as 30 and 70 in place of 3 and 27} \\\\ \\ ~respectively~~~~ \\\\ \\ So~~ \Sigma x_{i}=4000-30-70+3+27=3930~ \\\\ \\ \text{ So the correct mean after correction is }\overline{X~}=\frac{ \Sigma x_{i}}{n}=\frac{3930}{100}=39.3~ \\\\

Also given that standard deviation of the 100 observations is 10 before correction \sigma =10 \\\\


\\ \text{But~we know that } \\ \sigma = \sqrt {\frac{ \Sigma x_{i}^{2}}{n}- \left( \frac{ \Sigma x_{i}}{n} \right) ^{2}}~~ \\ ~\text{ Substituting the corresponding values we get }10=\sqrt {\frac{ \Sigma x_{i}^{2}}{100}- \left( \frac{4000}{100} \right) ^{2}}~~ \\ \text{~Now taking square on both sides, we get }10^{2}=\frac{ \Sigma x_{i}^{2}}{100}- \left( 40 \right) ^{2}~~ \\ ~ 100=\frac{ \Sigma x_{i}^{2}}{100}-1600~ \\ ~ 100+1600=\frac{ \Sigma x_{i}^{2}}{100}~~ \\ ~~ \Sigma x_{i}^{2}=170000~ \\ \text{It is said that 2 observations were wrongly taken as 30 and 70 in place of 3 and 27 respectively. }


\\ \text{So,~correction is } \Sigma x_{i}^{2}=170000- \left( 30 \right) ^{2}- \left( 70 \right) ^{2}+ \left( 3 \right) ^{3}+ \left( 27 \right) ^{2}~~ \\\\ \\ ~~~ \Sigma x_{i}^{2}=170000-900-4900+9+729=164938 \\\\ \\ \text{~~So, the correct standard deviation after correction is } \\\\ \\ \sigma = \sqrt {\frac{164938}{100}- \left( \frac{3930}{100} \right) ^{2}} =\sqrt {1649.38- \left( 39.3 \right) ^{2}} = \sqrt {104.89}=10.24 \\\\

\begin{array}{|l|l|} \hline \text { Data }\left(x_{i}\right) & \multicolumn{1}{|c|} {d_{i}=\left|x_{i}-\bar{x}\right|} \\ \hline 3 & 4 \\ \hline 10 & 3 \\ \hline 10 & 3 \\ \hline 4 & 3 \\ \hline 7 & 0 \\ \hline 10 & 3 \\ \hline 5 & 2 \\ \hline \text { Total } & =18 \\ \hline \end{array}

\\ \text{Mean of the given observations, }\overline{x}=50~ \\ \\ \text{But~we know, }\overline{X~}=\frac{ \Sigma x_{i}}{n}~ \\ \\ \text{Substituting the corresponding values, we get }50=\frac{ \Sigma x_{i}}{100}~~ \\ \\ \Sigma x_{i}=50 * 100=5000 \\ \\ \text{It is also given that the standard deviation of the 100 observations is 5 } \\\\ \sigma =5 \\ \\ \sigma = \sqrt {\frac{ \Sigma x_{i}^{2}}{n}- \left( \frac{ \Sigma x_{i}}{n} \right) ^{2}} \\ \\ \text{Substituting the corresponding values, we get }5=\sqrt {\frac{ \Sigma x_{i}^{2}}{100}- \left( \frac{5000}{100} \right) ^{2}}~ \\


\\ \text{ Now taking square on both sides we get }5^{2}=\frac{ \Sigma x_{i}}{100}- \left( 50 \right) ^{2}~ \\ \\ 25=\frac{ \Sigma x_{i}}{100}-2500 \\ \\ ~ 25+2500=\frac{ \Sigma x_{i}^{2}}{100}~~~~ \\ \\ ~~ \Sigma x_{i}^{2}=2525 * 100 \\ \\ ~ \Sigma x_{i}^{2}=252500 \\

Question:31

Let a, b, c, d, e be the observations with mean m and standard deviation s.

The standard deviation of the observations a + k, b + k, c + k, d + k, e + k is

A. s
B. ks
C. s + k
D. \frac{s}{k}

Answer:

Given observations are a, b, c, d, e

So, the mean of the 5 observations is

\\ m=\frac{a+b+c+d+e}{5}=\frac{ \sum x_{i}}{5} \\\sum x_{i}=5m=a+b+c+d+e \\

And the standard deviation of the 5 observations is

\\ \sigma =\sqrt {\frac{ \sum \left( x_{i} \right) ^{2}~}{5}- \left( \frac{ \sum x_{i}}{5} \right) ^{2}}=\sqrt {\frac{ \sum \left( x_{i} \right) ^{2}~}{5}-m^{2}} \\

Now we will find the mean and standard deviation of the observations a+k , b+k, c+k, d+k, e+k we get

So, the mean of these 5 observations is

\\ m_{1}=\frac{ \left( a+k \right) + \left( b+k \right) + \left( c+k \right) + \left( d+k \right) + \left( e+k \right) }{5} \\ \\ =\frac{a+b+c+d+e}{5}+k=m+k \\ \\ \sigma _{1}=\sqrt {\frac{ \sum \left( x_{i}+k \right) ^{2}~}{5}- \left( \frac{ \sum \left( x_{i}+k \right) }{5} \right) ^{2}}=\sqrt {\frac{ \sum \left( x_{i}^{2}+k^{2}+2kx_{i} \right) }{5}- \left( m+k \right) ^{2}} \\ \\ =\sqrt {\frac{ \sum \left( x_{i}^{2} \right) }{5}+\frac{5k^{2}}{5}+\frac{2k \sum \left( x_{i} \right) }{5}- \left( m+k \right) ^{2}} \\ \\ =\sqrt {\frac{ \sum \left( x_{i}^{2} \right) }{5}+k^{2}+2mk-m^{2}-k^{2}-2mk} \\ \\ =\sqrt {\frac{ \sum \left( x_{i}^{2} \right) }{5}-m^{2}} \\ \\ \sigma _{1}= \sigma \\

Question:34

Standard deviations for first 10 natural numbers is
A. 5.5
B. 3.87
C. 2.97
D. 2.87

Answer:

\\ \text{We know that the standard deviation of the first n natural numbers is }\sqrt {\frac{n^{2}-1}{12}}~ \\ \\ \text{Now for first 10 natural numbers} n=10 \\ \\ \text{ substituting this in the equation of standard deviation we get }\sigma =\sqrt {\frac{ \left( 10 \right) ^{2}-1}{12}}=\sqrt {\frac{100-1}{12}}= \sqrt {\frac{99}{12}}= \sqrt {8.25} =2.87 \\

Question:35

Consider the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. If 1 is added to each number, the variance of the numbers so obtained is
A. 6.5
B. 2.87
C. 3.87
D. 8.25

Answer:

We know that the standard deviation of the first n natural numbers is \sqrt {\frac{n^{2}-1}{12}}~ \\
Now for first 10 natural numbers n=10
substituting this in the equation of standard deviation we get \sigma =\sqrt {\frac{ \left( 10 \right) ^{2}-1}{12}}=\sqrt {\frac{100-1}{12}}= \sqrt {\frac{99}{12}}= \sqrt {8.25} =2.87 \\
Now when 1 is added to each numbers of 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,7 ,8 ,9, 10 ; we get new series as 1+1, 2+1, 3+1, 4+1, 5+1, 6+1, 7+1, 8+1, 9+1, 10+1
Now we know if standard deviation of x series is s, then standard deviation of k+x series is s,
So the S.D of 1+1, 2+1, 3+1, 4+1, 5+1, 6+1, 7+1, 8+1, 9+1, 10+1 series is also same as the S.D of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 series.
\\ \sigma =\sqrt {8.25}~ \\
Now for variance we will square on both the sides \sigma ^{2}=8.25 \\

Question:36

Consider the first 10 positive integers. If we multiply each number by –1 and then add 1 to each number, the variance of the numbers so obtained is
A. 8.25
B. 6.5
C. 3.87
D. 2.87

Answer:

First 10 positive integers are 1,2, 3, 4, 5,6 ,7, 8,9, 10 On multiplying each number by
-1 we get-1, -2, -3, -4 , -5, -6, -7, -8, -9 , -10
On adding 1 to each of the number, we get 0, -1, -2, -3, -4, -5, -6, -7, -8, -9
\\ \Sigma x_{i}=0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9=-45~ and \\ \\ ~ \Sigma x_{i}^{2}=0^{2}+ \left( -1 \right) ^{2}+ \left( -2 \right) ^{2}+ \ldots \ldots + \left( -9 \right) ^{2}~ \\ \\ \text{ But we know that } \Sigma x_{i}^{2}=\frac{9 \left( 9+1 \right) \left( 2 \left( 9 \right) +1 \right) }{6}=285 \\ \\ \sigma = \sqrt {\frac{ \Sigma x_{i}^{2}}{n}- \left( \frac{ \Sigma x_{i}}{n} \right) ^{2}}~ \\ \\ \text{Substituting the corresponding values, we get }\sigma =\sqrt {28.5- \left( -4.5 \right) ^{2}}=\sqrt {28.5-20.25}= \sqrt {8.25}~ \\ \\ \text{Now for variance both the sides are squared } \sigma ^{2}=8.25 \\

Question:37

The following information relates to a sample of size 60:

$ \sum $ x\textsuperscript{2}=18000, $ \sum $ x = 960.\\
The variance is
A. 6.63
B. 16
C. 22
D. 44

Answer:

\\ \text{We know that S.D can be written as }\sigma = \sqrt {\frac{ \Sigma x_{i}^{2}}{n}- \left( \frac{ \Sigma x_{i}}{n} \right) ^{2}}~ \\ \\ \text{But given } \Sigma x^{2}=18000, \Sigma x=960,~N=60, \\ \\ \text{substituting these corresponding values, we get }\sigma =\sqrt {\frac{18000}{60}- \left( \frac{960}{60} \right) ^{2}}= \sqrt {300- \left( 16 \right) ^{2}}=\sqrt {300-256}= \sqrt {44}~ \\ \\ \text{Now for variance we square both the sides } \sigma ^{2}=44 \\

Question:40

Fill in the blanks

\\ C.V=\frac{ \sigma }{\overline{x~}} * 100 where\: \: \sigma = \text {standard deviation }

Question:41

Fill in the blanks
If \bar{X}is the mean of n values of x, then \sum _{i=1}^{n} \left( x_{i}-\overline{x} \right) is always equal to _______.
If a has any value other than \bar{X} , then \sum _{i=1}^{n} \left( x_{i}-\overline{x} \right) ^{2} is _________ than \sum \left (X_i-a \right )^2

Answer:

Zero, less than Given x is mean of n values, then the sum of all n terms is denoted by \sum _{i=1}^{n}x_{i}, \\
so difference of both these is laways equal to zero i.e. } \sum _{i=1}^{n} \left( x_{i}-\overline{x} \right) =0 \\
And square of the above equation is also equal to zero, so } \sum _{i=1}^{n} \left( x_{i}-\overline{x} \right) ^{2}=0 \\
Now if "a" has the value other than x then ~ \sum _{i=1}^{n} \left( x_{i}-\overline{x} \right) ^{2}>0~ \\
\\ So,~ \sum _{i=1}^{n} \left( x_{i}-\overline{x} \right) ^{2}<~ \sum _{i=1}^{n} \left( x_{i}-a \right) ^{2}~~ \\ \\ \text{So, if }\mathrm{a}\text{~ has any value other than }\overline{x},~then~~ \sum _{i=1}^{n} \left( x_{i}-\overline{x} \right) ^{2}\text{~is less than } \sum _{i=1}^{n} \left( x_{i}-a \right) ^{2} \\

Question:42

Fill in the blanks:
If the variance of a data is 121, then the standard deviation of the data is _______.

Answer:

11
We know the square root of variance is standard deviation \\ \sigma ^{2}=121
Taking square root on both sides, we get \sigma =\sqrt {121}=11~~
So, if the variance of a data is 121, then the Standard deviation of the data is 11.

Question:43

Fill in the blanks
The standard deviation of a data is ___________ of any change in origin but is _____ on the change of scale.

Answer:

Independent, dependent
Change of origin means some value has been added or subtracted in the observation. And we know the S.D does not change if any value is added or subtracted from the observations, So SD is independent of change in origin.
However, Standard deviation is only affected by a change in scale, that is, when some value is multiplied or divided to observations. Hence, the SD of any data is independent of any change in origin but dependent on any change of scale.

Question:44

The sum of the squares of the deviations of the values of the variable is _______ when taken about their arithmetic mean.

Answer:

Minimum
The sum of the squares of the deviations of the values of the variable is minimum or least when taken about their arithmetic mean.

Question:45

Fill in the blanks
The mean deviation of the data is _______ when measured from the median.

Answer:

Least
Mean deviation is sum of all deviations of a set of a data about the data’s mean. In addition, it is widely believed that the median is usually between the mean and the mode. So, the mean deviation of the data is least when measured from the median.

Question:46

Fill in the blanks
The standard deviation is _______ to the mean deviation taken from the arithmetic mean.

Answer:

Greater than or equal to
SD is the difference between square of deviation of data about mean and square of mean. In addition, mean deviation is sum of all deviations of a set of data about the data’s mean. Hence, the SD is greater than or equal to the mean deviation taken from the arithmetic mean.
