Question 13 Marks
Find the mean and variance of the following data.
$x_i$ $92$ $93$ $97$ $98$ $102$ $104$ $109$
$f_i$ $3$ $2$ $3$ $2$ $6$ $3$ $3$
Answer
$x_i$ $f_i$ $f_ix_i$ $(x_i-100)$ $(x_i-100)^2$ $f_i(x_i-100)^2$
92 3 276 - 8 64 192
93 2 186 - 7 49 98

104 3 312 4 16 48
109 3 327 9 81 243
  22 2200     640
Mean $(\bar x) = \frac{1}{N}\sum {{f_i}{x_i}} = \frac{1}{{22}} \times 2200 = 100$
Variance $({\sigma ^2}) = \frac{1}{N}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{f_i}{{({x_i} - \bar x)}^2}} = \frac{1}{{22}} \times 640 = 29.09$

Question 23 Marks
Find the mean and variance for each of the data
$x_i$ $6$ $10$ $14$ $18$ $24$ $28$ $30$
$f_i$ $2$ $4$ $7$ $12$ $8$ $4$ $3$
Answer
$1$st of all we construct table.
$x_i$ $f_i$ $f_ix_i$ $X_i - \bar X$ $(X_i - \bar X)^2$ $f_i (X_i - \bar X)^2$

30 3 90 11 121 363
  40 760     1736
Here, $N = 40,$ $\sum\limits_{i=1}^{7} f_i x_i = 760$
$\therefore \bar x = \frac {\sum\limits_{i=1}^{7} f_i x_i}{N} = \frac {760}{40} = 19$
Variance = $ \frac 1N \sum\limits_{i=1}^{7} f_i(x_i - \bar x)^2 = \frac {1}{40} \times 1736 = 43.4$

Question 33 Marks
Find the mean and variance for: First $10$ multiples of $3$
Answer
The First $10$ multiples of $3$ are given by,
$3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30$
We know that Mean, $\overline{\mathrm{x}}=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{\mathrm{a}} \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}}{\mathrm{n}}$
$\therefore$ $\overline{\mathrm{x}}=\frac{3+6+9+12+15+18+21+24+27+30}{10}  =  \frac{165}{10} = 16.5$
From the given data, we can form the table:
$x_i$ Deviation from mean $(xi - \overline{\mathbf{X}})$ $(xi - \overline{\mathbf{X}})^2$
$3$ $3 - 16.5 = 13.5$ $182.25$
$6$ $6 - 16.5 = 10.5$ $110.25$
$9$ $9 - 16.5 = 7.5$ $56.25$
$12$ $12 - 16.5 = -4.5$ $20.25$
$15$ $15 - 16.5 = -1.5$ $2.25$
$18$ $18 - 16.5 = 1.5$ $2.25$
$21$ $21 - 16.5 = 4.5$ $20.25$
$24$ $24 - 16.5 = 7.5$ $56.25$
$27$ $27 - 16.5 = 10.5$ $110.25$
$30$ $30 - 16.5 = 13.5$ $182.25$
    $\sum_{i=1}^{10}\left(x_{i}-\bar{x}\right)^{2}$ = 742.5
We know that Variance, $\sigma^{2}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}} \sum_{\mathrm{i}=1}^{\mathrm{a}}\left(\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}-\overline{\mathrm{x}}\right)^{2}$
$\therefore \sigma^{2}  = (1/10)  \times 742.5 = 74.25$
Mean $= 16.5$ and Variance $= 74.25$

Question 43 Marks
Find the mean and variance for each of the data First $n$ natural numbers.
Answer
We have to calculate mean and Variance of First n natural numbers $= 1, 2, ..., n.$
Mean = $=\frac{1}{n}(1+2+3+\ldots+n)=\frac{n(n+1)}{2 n}=\frac{n+1}{2}$
variance ($\sigma^2$) = $\frac {\sum (x_i - \bar x)^2}{n}$
As the data is very large hence, $(x_i - \bar x)^2$ calculation id difficult.
Hence, we can use the formula: variance ($\sigma^2$) = $\frac {\sum(x_i)^2}{n} - (Mean)^2$
$= \frac {1^2+2^2+...n^2}{n} - \left(\frac {n+1}{2}\right)^2$
Since, $1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 + .. + n^2= \frac {n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}$
$\therefore$variance ($\sigma^2$) = $\frac {n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6n} - \frac {(n+1)^2}{4}$
$\frac {(n+1)(2n+1)}{6} - \frac {(n+1)^2}{4}$
$\frac {(n+1)}{2} \left(\frac {2n+1}{3} - \frac {n+1}{2}\right)$
$\frac {n+1}{2} \left(\frac {4n+2 -3n - 3}{6} \right)$
$\frac {n+1}{2} \times \frac {n-1}{6}$ = $\frac {n^2 -1}{12}$

Question 53 Marks
Find the mean and variance for each of the data
$6, 7, 10, 12, 13, 4, 8, 12$
Answer
Here $x = 6, 7, 10, 12, 13, 4, 8, 12$
$\therefore \sum x = 6 + 7 + 10 + 12 + 13 + 4 + 8 + 12 = 72$
n = 8 $\therefore \;\bar x = \frac{{72}}{8} = 9$
$\sum {x^2} = (6)^2 + (7)^2 + (10)^2 + (12)^2 + (13)^2 + (4)^2 + (8)^2 + (12)^2$
$= 36 + 49 + 100 + 144 + 169 + 16 + 64 + 144 = 722$
$\therefore$ Variance ${\sigma ^2} = \frac{{N\sum {x^2} - {{\left( {\sum x} \right)}^2}}}{{{N^2}}} = \frac{{8 \times 722 - {{(72)}^2}}}{{{{(8)}^2}}}$
$ = \frac{{5776 - 5184}}{{64}} = \frac{{592}}{{64}} = 9.25$

Question 63 Marks
Find the mean deviation about the mean for the data
Income per day $0-100$ $100-200$ $200-300$ $300-400$ $400-500$ $500-600$ $600-700$ $700-800$
Number of persons $4$ $8$ $9$ $10$ $7$ $5$ $4$ $3$
Answer
Income per day Mid values $x_i$ $f_i$ $f_ix_i$ $|x_i - 358|$ $f_i|x_i - 358|$
$0 - 100$ $50$ $4$ $200$ $308$ $1232$
$100 - 200$ $150$ $8$ $1200$ $208$ $1664$
$200 - 300$ $250$ $9$ $2250$ $108$ $972$
$300 - 400$ $350$ $10$ $3500$ $8$ $80$
$400 - 500$ $450$ $7$ $3150$ $92$ $644$
$500 - 600$ $550$ $5$ $2750$ $192$ $960$
$600 - 700$ $650$ $4$ $2600$ $292$ $1168$
$700 - 800$ $750$ $3$ $2250$ $392$ $1176$
    $50$ $17900$   $7896$
Mean $\bar x = \frac{1}{N}\sum {{f_i}{x_i}} = \frac{1}{{50}} \times 17900 = 358$
Mean deviation about mean $= \frac{1}{N}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{f_i}\left| {{x_i} - \bar x} \right|}$
$ = \frac{1}{{50}} \times 7896 = 157.92$

$x_i$ $15$ $21$ $27$ $30$ $35$
$fi$ $3$ $5$ $6$ $7$ $8$
Answer
$x_i$ $f_i$ Cum. Freq. $\left|d_{i}\right|=\left|x_{i}-30\right|$ $f_{i}\left|d_{i}\right|$
$15$ $3$ $3$ $15$ $45$
$21$ $5$ $8$ $9$ $45$
$27$ $6$ $14$ $3$ $18$
$30$ $7$ $21$ $0$ $0$
$35$ $8$ $29$ $5$ $40$
  $29$     Total $= 148$

$\frac{N}{2}= \frac{29} {2} =14.5$
To calculate median we will locate the above value in column of cumulative frequency and the corresponding value of $x_i$ will be our median.
Median $= 30$
$\mathrm{MD}=\frac{148}{29} = 5.10$

Question 83 Marks
Find the mean deviation about the median for the data
$x_i$ $5$ $7$ $9$ $10$ $12$ $15$
$f_i$ $8$ $6$ $2$ $2$ $2$ $6$
Answer
$x_i$ $f_i$ $c.f.$ $|x_i - 7|$ $f_i|x_i - 7|$
$5$ $8$ $8$ $2$ $16$
$7$ $6$ $14$ $0$ $0$
$9$ $2$ $16$ $2$ $4$
$10$ $2$ $18$ $3$ $6$
$12$ $2$ $20$ $5$ $10$
$15$ $6$ $26$ $8$ $48$
  $26$     $84$
$\frac{N}{2} = \frac{{26}}{2} = 13$
The c.f. just greater than $13$ is $14$ and corresponding value of $x$ is $7$.
$\therefore$ Median $= 7$
$\therefore$ M.D. about median $ = \frac{1}{N}\sum {{f_i}} \left| {{x_i} - M} \right| = \frac{1}{{26}} \times 84 = 3.23$

Question 93 Marks
Find the mean deviation from the mean for the data:
$x_i$ $10$ $30$ $50$ $70$ $90$
$f_i$ $4$ $24$ $28$ $16$ $8$
Answer
To calculate the mean deviation about mean we need to make the following table,
$x_i$ $f_i$ $x_if_i$ $|d_i|=|x_i-mean|$ $f_id_i$
$10$ $4$ $40$ $40$ $160$
$30$ $24$ $720$ $20$ $480$
$50$ $28$ $1400$ $0$ $0$
$70$ $16$ $1120$ $20$ $320$
$90$ $8$ $720$ $40$ $320$
  $80$ $4000$   $1280$
$Mean=\frac{1}{n} \sum f_{i} x_{i}=\frac{4000}{80}=50$
$\therefore \quad \mathrm{M.D.}=\frac{1}{n} \Sigma f_{i}\left|d_{i}\right|=\frac{1}{80}[1280]=16$

Question 103 Marks
Find the mean deviation from the mean for the data:
$x_i$ $5$ $10$ $15$ $20$ $25$
$f_i$ $7$ $4$ $6$ $3$ $5$
Answer
To find mean deviation about the mean we need to make the following table,
$x_i$ $f_i$ $x_if_i$ $|d_i| = |x_i - mean|$ $f_id_i$
$5$ $7$ $35$ $9$ $63$
$10$ $4$ $40$ $4$ $16$
$15$ $6$ $90$ $1$ $6$
$20$ $3$ $60$ $6$ $18$
$25$ $5$ $125$ $11$ $55$
  $25$ $350$   $158$
Mean = $\frac{1}{n} \sum f_{i} x_{i}=\frac{350}{25}$ $= 14$
$\therefore$ M.D = $\frac{1}{n} \Sigma f_{i}\left|\mathrm{d}_{i}\right|=\frac{1}{25}$$[158]$ $= 6.32$

      100     735
$\frac{N}{2} = \frac{{100}}{2} $ = 50
$\therefore$ Median class is 35.5 - 40.5
Median = 35.5 + $\frac{{50 - 37}}{{26}} \times $ 5 = 35.5 + 2.5 = 38
M.D. about median = $\frac{1}{N}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{f_i}\left| {{x_i} - M} \right|} = \frac{1}{{100}} \times $ 735 = 7.35
