$\text{N}=\sum\text{f}_\text{i}=100$
|
|
|
$\sum\text{f}_\text{i}|\text{d}_\text{i}|=735$
|
clearly, N = 100 $\Rightarrow\frac{\text{N}}{2}=50.$ Cumulative frequency is just greater than $\frac{\text{N}}{2}$ is $63$ and the corresponding class is $35.5 - 40.5. l = 35.5, f = 26, h = 5, F = 37$
Therefore, $\text{Median}=\text{l}+\frac{\frac{\text{N}}{2}-\text{F}}{\text{f}}\times\text{h}=35.5+\frac{50-37}{26}\times5=38$
$\text{M.D}=\frac{1}{\text{N}}\sum\text{f}_\text{i}|\text{d}_\text{i}|=\frac{735}{100}=7.35$ View full question & answer→Question 25 Marks

we have $\text{N}=245\Rightarrow\frac{\text{N}}{2}=122.5$ The cumulative frequency just greater than $\frac{\text{N}}{2}$ is 154 and the corresponding value of x is 4. Hence, median = 4 $\therefore\text{M.D}=\frac{1}{\text{n}}\sum\text{f}_\text{i}|\text{d}_\text{i}|=\frac{1}{245}[366]=1.49$ View full question & answer→Question 45 Marks

Here, N = 300, A = 105, $\sum\text{f}_{\text{i}}\text{u}_{\text{i}}=137,\ \sum\text{f}_{\text{i}}\text{u}_{\text{i}}^2=665$ and h = 30
$\therefore\text{Mean}=\overline{\text{x}}=\text{A}+\text{h}\Big(\frac{1}{\text{N}}\sum\text{f}_{\text{i}}\text{u}_{\text{i}}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\overline{\text{x}}=105+30\Big(\frac{137}{300}\Big)=118.7$
$\text{Var}(\text{X})=\text{h}^2\bigg[\frac{1}{\text{N}}\sum\text{f}_{\text{i}}\text{u}_{\text{i}}^2-\Big(\frac{1}{\text{N}}\sum\text{f}_{\text{i}}\text{u}_{\text{i}}\Big)^2\bigg]$
$\text{Var}(\text{X})=900\bigg[\frac{665}{300}-\Big(\frac{137}{300}\Big)^2\bigg]=1807.31$
$\therefore\text{SD}=\sqrt{\text{var}(\text{x})}=\sqrt{1807.31}=42.51$ View full question & answer→Question 85 Marks

An analysis of the weekly wages paid to workers in two firms $A$ and $B,$ belonging to the same industry gives the following results:
|
|
Firm $A$
|
Firm $B$
|
|
No. of wage earners
|
$586$ |
$648$ |
|
Average weekly wages
|
$52.5$ |
$47.5$ |
|
Variance of the
|
$100$ |
$121$ |
|
Distribution of wages
|
|
|
- Which firm $A$ or $B$ pays out larger amount as weekly wages?
- Which firm $A$ or $B$ has greater variability in individual wages?
AnswerTotal wagas paid by firm $A = ($Averge wages$) \times ($Number of employees$)$
$= 52.5 \times 587$
$= Rs. 30817.50$
Total wagas paid by firm $A = ($Averge wages$) \times ($Number of employees$)$
$= 47.5 \times 648$
$= Rs. 30780$
So, firm $A$ pays higher total wages.
In order to compare the variability of wages among the two firm, we have to calculate their coefficients of variation.
Let $\sigma_1$ and $\sigma_2$ denote the standard deviations of firm $A$ and firm $B$ respectively. Further,
Let $\overline{\text{X}}_1$ and $\overline{\text{X}}_2$ be the mean wages in firms $A$ and $B$ respectively.
We have,
$\overline{\text{X}}_1=52.5,\ \overline{\text{X}}_2=47.5$
$\sigma_1^2=100$ and $\sigma_2^2=121$
$\Rightarrow\sigma_1=\sqrt{100}=10$ and $\sigma_2=\sqrt{121}=11$
Now,
Coefficient of variation in wages in firm $\text{A}=\frac{\sigma_1}{\overline{\text{x}_1}}\times100$
$=\frac{10}{52.5}\times100$
$=19.05$
and,
Coefficient of variation in wages in firm $\text{B}=\frac{\sigma_2}{\overline{\text{x}_2}}\times100$
$=\frac{11}{47.5}\times100$
$=23.16$
Clearly, coefficient of variation in wages is greater for firm $B$ than for firm $A.$
So, firm $B$ shows more variability in wages.

Which of the three subjects shows the highest variability in marks and which shows the lowest?
AnswerIn order to compare the variability of mark in maths, Physics and Chemistry, we have to calculate their coefficients of variation.
Let $\sigma_1,\ \sigma_2$ and $\sigma_3$ denote the standard deviations of marks in Maths, Physics and Chemistry respectively. Further, Let $\overline{\text{X}}_1,\ \overline{\text{X}}_2$ and $\overline{\text{X}}_3$ be the mean score in Maths, Physics and Chemistry respectively.
We have,
$\overline{\text{X}}_1=42,\ \overline{\text{X}}_2=32,\ \overline{\text{X}}_3=40.9$
$\Rightarrow\sigma_1=12,\ \sigma_2=15,\ \sigma_3=20$
Now,
Coefficient of variation in Maths $=\frac{\sigma_1}{\overline{\text{x}_1}}\times100=\frac{12}{42}\times100=28.57$
Coefficient of variation in Physics $=\frac{\sigma_2}{\overline{\text{x}_2}}\times100=\frac{15}{32}\times100=46.88$
Coefficient of variation in Chemistry $=\frac{\sigma_3}{\overline{\text{x}_3}}\times100=\frac{20}{40.9}\times100=48.90$
Clearly, coefficient of variation in marks is greater in Chemistry and lowest in Maths.
So, marks in Chemistry show highest variability and marks in maths show lowest variability.

Here, N = 120, A = 2750, $\sum\text{f}_\text{i}\text{u}_\text{i}=83,\ \sum\text{f}_\text{i}\text{u}_\text{i}^2=321$ and h = 700
$\therefore\text{Mean}=\overline{\text{x}}=\text{A+h}\Big(\frac{1}{\text{N}}\sum\text{f}_\text{i}\text{u}_\text{i}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\overline{\text{x}}=2750+700\Big(\frac{83}{120}\Big)=3234.17$
$\text{Var}(\text{X})=\text{h}^2\bigg[\frac{1}{\text{N}}\sum\text{f}_\text{i}\text{u}_\text{i}^2-\Big(\frac{1}{\text{N}}\sum\text{f}_\text{i}\text{u}_\text{i}\Big)^2\bigg]$
$\text{Var}(\text{X})=490000\bigg[\frac{321}{120}-\Big(\frac{83}{120}\Big)^2\bigg]=1076332.64$
$\therefore\text{S.D.}=\sqrt{\text{Var}(\text{X})}=\sqrt{1076332.64}=1037.46$
Coefficient of variation $=\frac{\text{S.D.}}{\overline{\text{x}}_1}\times100=\frac{1037.46}{3234.17}\times100=32.08$ View full question & answer→Question 275 Marks

we have N = 96 ⇒ $\frac{\text{N}}{2}=48$ the cumulative frequency just greater than $\frac{\text{N}}{2}$ is 59 and the corresponding value of x is 38.25. Hence, median = 38.25$\therefore\text{M.D}=\frac{1}{\text{n}}\sum\text{f}_\text{i}|\text{d}_\text{i}|=\frac{1}{96}[980.5]=10.21$ View full question & answer→Question 295 Marks

Here, N = 90, A = 25, $\sum\text{f}_{\text{i}}\text{u}_{\text{i}}=10,\ \sum\text{f}_{\text{i}}\text{u}_{\text{i}}^2=150$ and h = 10
$\therefore\text{Mean}=\overline{\text{x}}=\text{A}+\text{h}\Big(\frac{1}{\text{N}}\sum\text{f}_{\text{i}}\text{u}_{\text{i}}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\overline{\text{x}}=25+10\Big(\frac{10}{90}\Big)=26.11$
$\text{Var}(\text{X})=\text{h}^2\Big[\frac{1}{\text{N}}\sum\text{f}_{\text{i}}\text{u}_{\text{i}}^2-\Big(\frac{1}{\text{N}}\sum\text{f}_{\text{i}}\text{u}_{\text{i}}\Big)^2\Big]$
$\text{Var}(\text{X})=100\Big[\frac{150}{90}-\Big(\frac{10}{90}\Big)^2\Big]=165.4$

The variance of 20 observation is 5. If each observation is multiplied by 2, find the variance of the resulting observation.
AnswerWe have, n = 20, and $\sigma^2=5$
Now each observation is multiplied by 2.
Suposs X = 2x be the new data.
$\therefore\overline{\text{X}}=\frac{1}{20}\sum2\text{x}_\text{i}=\frac{1}{20}\times2\sum\text{x}_\text{i}=2\overline{\text{x}}$
$\Rightarrow\sum{\text{X}_\text{i}}^{2}=4\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^{2}$
Since, $\sigma^2=5$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{\text{n}}\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2-(\overline{\text{x}})^2=5$
Now, for the new data
$\sigma^2=\frac{1}{\text{n}}\sum{\text{X}_\text{i}}^2-(\overline{\text{x}})^2=4\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2-(2\overline{\text{x}})^2=4\Big(\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2-(\overline{\text{x}})^2\Big)=4\times5=20$

A student obtained the mean and standard deviation of $100$ observations as $40$ and $5.1$ respectively. It was later found that one observation was wrongly copied as $50$, the correct figure being $40.$ Find the correct mean and $S.D.$
AnswerWe have, $\text{n} = 100,\ \overline{\text{x}}=40$ and $\sigma=5.1$
$\therefore\overline{\text{x}}=\frac{1}{\text{n}}\sum\text{x}_{\text{i}}$
$\Rightarrow\sum\text{x}_{\text{i}}=\text{n}\overline{\text{x}}=100\times40=4000$
$\therefore$ Incorrect $\sum\text{x}_{\text{i}}=4000$
and,
$\sigma=5.1$
$\Rightarrow\sigma^2=26.01$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{\text{n}}\sum\text{x}_{\text{i}}^2-(\text{Mean})^2=26.01$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{100}\sum\text{x}_{\text{i}}^2-1600=26.01$
$\Rightarrow\sum\text{x}_{\text{i}}^2=1626.01\times100$
$\therefore$ Incorrect $\sum\text{x}_{\text{i}}^2=162601$
When the incorrect observation 50 is replaced by 40:
We have, Incorrect $\sum\text{x}_{\text{i}}=4000$
$\therefore$ Corrected $\sum\text{x}_{\text{i}}=4000-50+40=3990$
and,
Incorrected $\sum\text{x}_{\text{i}}^2=162601$
$\therefore$ Corrected $\sum\text{x}_{\text{i}}^2=162601-50^2+40^2=161701$
Now, Corrected mean $=\frac{3990}{100}=39.90$
Corrected variance $=\frac{1}{100}\ \big(\text{Corrected}\sum\text{x}_{\text{i}}^2\big)$ - (Corrected mean)$^2$
⇒ Corrected variance $=\frac{161701}{100}-\Big(\frac{3990}{100}\Big)^2$
⇒ Corrected variance $=\frac{161701\times100-(3990)^2}{(100)^2}$
⇒ Corrected variance $=\frac{16170100-15920100}{10000}=25$
$\therefore$ Correctes standard deviation $=\sqrt{25}=5$

|
| Mean weight |

|

|
|
Variance

|
Which of the distributions is more variable?
AnswerIn order to compare the variability of weight in boys and girls, we have to calculate their coefficients of variation.
Let $\sigma_1$ and $\sigma_2$ denote the standard deviations of weight in boys and girls respectively. Further,
Let $\overline{\text{X}}_1$ and $\overline{\text{X}}_2$ be the mean weight of boys and girls respectively.
We have,
$\overline{\text{X}}_1=60,\ \overline{\text{X}}_2=45$
$\sigma_1^2=9$ and $\sigma_2^2=4$
$\Rightarrow\sigma_1=\sqrt{9}=3$ and $\sigma_2=\sqrt{4}=2$
Now,
Coefficient of variation in weight in boys $=\frac{\sigma_1}{\overline{\text{x}_1}}\times100$
$=\frac{3}{60}\times100=5$
and,
Coefficient of variation in weight in girls $=\frac{\sigma_2}{\overline{\text{x}_2}}\times100$
$=\frac{2}{45}\times100=4.44$
Clearly, coefficient of variation in weight is greater in boys than in girls.
So, weights shows more variability in boys.

$\therefore\text{Mean}=\overline{\text{x}}=\text{A+h}\Big(\frac{1}{\text{N}}\sum\text{f}_\text{i}\text{u}_\text{i}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\overline{\text{x}}=22.5+5\Big(\frac{108}{100}\Big)=27.90$
$\text{Var}(\text{X})=\text{h}^2\bigg[\frac{1}{\text{N}}\sum\text{f}_\text{i}\text{u}_\text{i}^2-\Big(\frac{1}{\text{N}}\sum\text{f}_\text{i}\text{u}_\text{i}\Big)^2\bigg]$
$\text{Var}(\text{X})=25\bigg[\frac{266}{100}-\Big(\frac{108}{100}\Big)^2\bigg]=37.34$
$\therefore\text{S.D.}=\sqrt{\text{Var}(\text{X})}=\sqrt{37.34}=6.11$

The mean and standard deviation of $20$ observation are found to be $10$ and $2$ respectively. On reacheking it was found that an observation $8$ was incorrect. Calculate the correct and standard deviation in each of the following cases:
- If wrong item is omitted.
- If it is replaced by $12.$
Answer$\text{n}=20,\overline{\text{X}}=10,\sigma=2$
$\therefore\overline{\text{x}}=\frac{1}{\text{n}}\sum\text{x}_\text{i}$
$\Rightarrow\sum\text{x}_\text{i}=\text{n}\overline{\text{x}}=20\times10=200$
Incorrected $\sum\text{x}_\text{i}=200$
and,
$\sigma=2$
$\Rightarrow\sigma^2=4$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{\text{n}}\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2-(\text{Mean})^2=4$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{20}\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2-100=4$
$\Rightarrow\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2=104\times20$
$\Rightarrow\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2=2080.$
- When $8$ is omitted from the data:
If $8$ is omitted from the data, then $19$ observation are left.
Now, Incorrected $\sum\text{x}_\text{i}=200$
$\Rightarrow$ Corrected $\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2+8^2=2080$
$\Rightarrow$ Corrected $\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2=2080-64$
$\Rightarrow$ Corrected $\sum\text{x}_\text{i}^2=2016$
$\therefore$ Corrected mean $=\frac{192}{19}=10.10$
$\Rightarrow$ Corrected variance $=\frac{1}{19}\big(\text{corrected}\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2\big)-\big(\text{Corrected}\ \text{mean}\big)^2$
$\Rightarrow$ Corrected variance $=\frac{2016}{19}-\Big(\frac{192}{19}\Big)^2$
Corrected variance $=\frac{38304-36864}{361}=\frac{1440}{361}$
$\therefore$ Corrected standard deviation $=\sqrt{\frac{1440}{361}}=\frac{12\sqrt{10}}{19}=1.997$
- When the incorrect observation $8$ is replaced by $12:$
We have, Incorrected $\sum\text{x}_\text{i}=200$
$\therefore$ Corrected $\sum\text{x}_\text{i}=208-8+12=204$
and,
$\Rightarrow \text{Incorrected}\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2=2080$
$\therefore$ Corrected $\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2=2080-8^2+12^2=2160$
Now, $\therefore$ Corrected mean $=\frac{204}{20}=10.2$
Corrected variance $=\frac{1}{20}(\text{Corrected}\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2)-(\text{Corrected}\ \text{mean})^2$
$\Rightarrow$ Corrected variance $=\frac{2160}{20}-\Big(\frac{204}{20}\Big)^2$
$\Rightarrow$ Corrected variance $=\frac{2160\times20-(204)^2}{(20)^2} $
$\Rightarrow$ Corrected variance $=\frac{43200-41616}{400}=\frac{1584}{400}$
$\therefore$ Corrected standard deviation $=\sqrt{\frac{1584}{400}}=\frac{\sqrt{396}}{10}=1.9899$ View full question & answer→Question 475 Marks

While calculating the mean and variance of 10 readings, a student wrongly used the reading of 52 for the correct reading 25. He obtained the mean and variance as 45 and 16 respectively. Find the correct mean and the variance.
AnswerMean = 45
Variance = 16
n = 10
$\sum\text{x}_{\text{i}}=450$
Corrected Sum = 450 - 52 + 25 = 423
Corrected Mean = 42.3
Variance = 16
$16=\frac{\sum\text{x}_{\text{i}}^2}{10}-(45)^2$
Incorrected $\sum\text{x}_{\text{i}}^2=20410$
Corrected $\sum\text{x}_{\text{i}}^2=$
Incorrect $\sum\text{x}_{\text{i}}^2$ - (Sum of squares of incorrect value) + (Sum of squares of corrected value)
Corrected $\sum\text{x}_{\text{i}}^2=20410-2704+625=18331$
Corrected $\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{\text{Corrected}\sum\text{x}_\text{i}^2}{\text{n}}-(\text{Corrected Mean})^2}$
Corrected $\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{18331}{10}-(42.3)^2}=6.62$
Corrected Variance = 6.62 × 6.62 = 43.82

The mean and standard deviation of $6$ observation are $8$ and $4$ respectively. If each observation is multiplied by $3,$ find the new mean and new standard deviation of the resulting observation.
AnswerMean = $\overline{\text{X}}=8$
$n = 6$
$\sigma=\text{S.D}=4$
If $x_1, x_2, ......x_6 $are the given observation
$\overline{\text{X}}=\frac{1}{\text{n}}\times\sum_\limits{\text{i}=1}^6\text{x}_\text{i}$
$\Rightarrow8=\frac{1}{6}\times\sum_\limits{\text{i}=1}^6\text{x}_\text{i}$
Let $u_1, u_2.....u_6$ be the new observation
$\Rightarrow u_i = 3x_i $(for $i = 1, 2, 3...6)$
⇒ Mean of new observation $=\overline{\text{U}}=\frac{1}{\text{n}}\times\sum_\limits{\text{i}=1}^6\text{u}_\text{i}$
$=\frac{1}{6}\times\sum_\limits{\text{i}=1}^63\text{x}_\text{i}$
$=3\times\frac{1}{6}\times\sum_\limits{\text{i}=1}^6\text{x}_\text{i}$
$=3\ \overline{\text{X}}$
$=3\times8$
$=24$
$\text{SD}=\sigma_\text{x}=4$
${\sigma_\text{x}}^2$ = Variance X
$\therefore$ Variance X = 16
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{6}\sum_\limits{\text{i}=1}^6(\text{x}_\text{i}-\overline{\text{X}})^2=16.....(1)$
$\text{Variance}\ (\text{U})={\sigma_\text{u}}^2=\frac{1}{6}\sum_\limits{\text{i}=1}^6(\text{u}_\text{i}-\overline{\text{U}})^2$
$=\frac{1}{6}\times\sum_\limits{\text{i}=1}^6(3\text{x}_\text{i}-3\overline{\text{X}})^2$
$=3^2\times\frac{1}{6}\sum_\limits{\text{i}=1}^6(\text{x}_\text{i}-\overline{\text{X}})^2$
$=9\times16$
$\sigma_\text{u}=\sqrt{\text{Variance}\ (\text{U})}$
$=\sqrt{9\times16}$
$=12$
