15.5-20.5 18 5 5 20 100
20.5-25.5 23 6 11 15 90
25.5-30.5 28 12 23 10 120
30.5-35.5 33 14 37 5 70
35.5-40.5 38 26 63 0 0
40.5-45.5 43 12 75 5 60
45.5-50.5 48 16 91 10 160
50.5-55.5 53 9 100 15 135
 
 
$\text{N}=\sum\text{f}_\text{i}=100$
 
 
$\sum\text{f}_\text{i}|\text{d}_\text{i}|=735$
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, $\text{Median}=\text{l}+\frac{\frac{\text{N}}{2}-\text{F}}{\text{f}}\times\text{h}=35.5+\frac{50-37}{26}\times5=38$
$\text{M.D}=\frac{1}{\text{N}}\sum\text{f}_\text{i}|\text{d}_\text{i}|=\frac{735}{100}=7.35$

$\therefore\text{Mean}=\overline{\text{x}}=\text{A}+\text{h}\Big(\frac{1}{\text{N}}\sum\text{f}_{\text{i}}\text{u}_{\text{i}}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\overline{\text{x}}=105+30\Big(\frac{137}{300}\Big)=118.7$
$\text{Var}(\text{X})=\text{h}^2\bigg[\frac{1}{\text{N}}\sum\text{f}_{\text{i}}\text{u}_{\text{i}}^2-\Big(\frac{1}{\text{N}}\sum\text{f}_{\text{i}}\text{u}_{\text{i}}\Big)^2\bigg]$
$\text{Var}(\text{X})=900\bigg[\frac{665}{300}-\Big(\frac{137}{300}\Big)^2\bigg]=1807.31$
$\therefore\text{SD}=\sqrt{\text{var}(\text{x})}=\sqrt{1807.31}=42.51$

Question 125 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
 
 
  1. Which firm $A$ or $B$ pays out larger amount as weekly wages?
  2. Which firm $A$ or $B$ has greater variability in individual wages?
Answer
Total 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.

Question 225 Marks
The mean and standard deviation of marks obtained by 50 students of a class in three subjects, mathematics, physics and chemistry are given below:
Subject

40.9

Deviation
 
 
 
Which of the three subjects shows the highest variability in marks and which shows the lowest?
Answer
In 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.

Question 315 Marks
The variance of 20 observation is 5. If each observation is multiplied by 2, find the variance of the resulting observation.
Answer
We 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
$\sigma^2=\frac{1}{\text{n}}\sum{\text{X}_\text{i}}^2-(\overline{\text{x}})^2=4\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2-(2\overline{\text{x}})^2=4\Big(\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2-(\overline{\text{x}})^2\Big)=4\times5=20$

Question 415 Marks
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 $S.D.$
Answer
We 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 $=\sqrt{25}=5$

Question 435 Marks
The following are some particulars of the distribution of weights of boys and girls in a class:
Number
Boys
Girls
  100
50
Mean weight
60kg
45kg
Variance
9
4
Which of the distributions is more variable?
Answer
In 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.

Here, $N = 100, A = 22.5, \sum\text{f}_\text{i}\text{u}_\text{i}=108,\ \sum\text{f}_\text{i}\text{u}_\text{i}^2=266$ and $h = 5$
$\therefore\text{Mean}=\overline{\text{x}}=\text{A+h}\Big(\frac{1}{\text{N}}\sum\text{f}_\text{i}\text{u}_\text{i}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\overline{\text{x}}=22.5+5\Big(\frac{108}{100}\Big)=27.90$
$\text{Var}(\text{X})=\text{h}^2\bigg[\frac{1}{\text{N}}\sum\text{f}_\text{i}\text{u}_\text{i}^2-\Big(\frac{1}{\text{N}}\sum\text{f}_\text{i}\text{u}_\text{i}\Big)^2\bigg]$

Question 465 Marks
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:
  1. If wrong item is omitted.
  2. 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,
$\sigma=2$
$\Rightarrow\sigma^2=4$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{\text{n}}\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2-(\text{Mean})^2=4$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{20}\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2-100=4$
$\Rightarrow\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2=104\times20$
$\Rightarrow\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2=2080.$
  1. 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 $=\sqrt{\frac{1440}{361}}=\frac{12\sqrt{10}}{19}=1.997$
  1. 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 $=\sqrt{\frac{1584}{400}}=\frac{\sqrt{396}}{10}=1.9899$

Question 495 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.
Answer
Mean = 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

Question 505 Marks
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.
Answer
Mean = $\overline{\text{X}}=8$
$n = 6$
$\sigma=\text{S.D}=4$
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
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{6}\sum_\limits{\text{i}=1}^6(\text{x}_\text{i}-\overline{\text{X}})^2=16.....(1)$
$\text{Variance}\ (\text{U})={\sigma_\text{u}}^2=\frac{1}{6}\sum_\limits{\text{i}=1}^6(\text{u}_\text{i}-\overline{\text{U}})^2$
$=\frac{1}{6}\times\sum_\limits{\text{i}=1}^6(3\text{x}_\text{i}-3\overline{\text{X}})^2$
$=3^2\times\frac{1}{6}\sum_\limits{\text{i}=1}^6(\text{x}_\text{i}-\overline{\text{X}})^2$
$=9\times16$
$\sigma_\text{u}=\sqrt{\text{Variance}\ (\text{U})}$
$=\sqrt{9\times16}$
$=12$

Question 525 Marks
Show that the two formula for the standard deviation of ungrouped data
$\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{1}{\text{n}\sum(\text{x}_\text{i}-\overline{\text{X}})^2}}\text{and}\ \sigma^{'}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{\text{n}}\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2-\overline{\text{X}^2}}$ are equivalent, where $ \overline{\text{X}}=\frac{1}{\text{n}}\sum\text{x}_\text{i}.$
Answer
$\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{1}{\text{n}}\sum(\text{x}_\text{i}-\overline{\text{X}})^2}$
$=\sqrt{\frac{1}{\text{n}}\sum\big({\text{x}_\text{i}^2}-2{\text{x}_\text{i}}\overline{\text{X}}+\overline{\text{X}}\big)^2}$
$=\sqrt{\frac{1}{\text{n}}\sum{\text{x}^2_\text{i}}-\frac{1}{\text{n}}\sum2\text{x}_\text{i}\overline{\text{X}}+\frac{1}{\text{n}}\sum\overline{{\text{X}}}^2}$
$=\sqrt{\frac{1}{\text{n}}\sum{\text{x}}^2_\text{i}-\frac{1}{\text{n}}\times2\overline{\text{X}}\sum\text{x}_\text{i}+\frac{1}{\text{n}}\times\overline{\text{X}}^2\sum1}$
$=\sqrt{\frac{1}{\text{n}}\sum{\text{x}^2_\text{i}}-\frac{1}{\text{n}}\times2\overline{\text{X}}\times\text{n}\overline{\text{X}}+\frac{1}{\text{n}}\times\overline{\text{X}}^2\times\text{n}}$
$=\sqrt{\frac{1}{\text{n}}\sum\text{x}^2_\text{i}-2\overline{\text{X}}^2+\overline{\text{X}}^2}$
$=\sqrt{\frac{1}{\text{n}}\sum\text{x}^2_\text{i}-\overline{\text{X}}^2}$
$=\sigma^{'}$
Hence, the formula $\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{1}{\text{n}}\sum(\text{x}_\text{i}-\overline{\text{X}})^2}\ \text{and}\ \sigma^{'}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{\text{n}}\sum\text{x}^2_\text{i}-\overline{\text{X}}^2}$ are equivalent, where $\overline{\text{X}}=\frac{1}{\text{n}}\sum\text{x}_\text{i}.$

Question 535 Marks
The mean and variance of $8$ observation are $9$ and $9.25$ respectively. If six of the observation are $6, 7, 10, 12, 12$ and $13$, find the remaining two observation.
Answer
Let x and y be the remaining two observations. Then,
Mean = 9
$\Rightarrow\frac{6+7+10+12+12+13+\text{x}+\text{y}}{8}=9$
$\Rightarrow 60 + x + y =72$
$\Rightarrow x + y = 12.........(i)$
Variance $= 9.25$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{8}\big(6^2+7^2+10^2+12^2+12^2+13^2+\text{x}^2+\text{y}^2\big)-(\text{Mean})^2=9.25$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{8}\big(36+49+100+144+144+169+\text{x}^2+\text{y}^2\big)-81=9.25$
$\Rightarrow 642 + x^2 + y^2 = 722$
$\Rightarrow x^2 + y^2 = 80........(ii)$
Now, $(x + y)^2 + (x - y)^2 = 2(x^2 + y^2)$
$\Rightarrow 144 + (x - y)^2= 2 \times 80$
$\Rightarrow x - y = 16$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}-\text{y}=\pm4$
if x - y = 4,
 then $x + y =12$ and $x - y = 4$
$\Rightarrow x = 8, y = 4$
if $x - y = -4,$
then $x + y =12$ and $x - y = -4$
$\Rightarrow x = 4, y = 8$
Hence, the remaining two observation are 4 and 8.

Question 545 Marks
The mean and standard deviation of a group of 100 observations were found to be 20 and 3 respectively. Later on it was found that three observation were incorrect, which were recorded as 21, 21 and 18. Find the mean and standard deviation if the incorrect observation were omitted.
Answer
We have, $\text{n}=100,\overline{\text{x}}=20\ \text{and}\ \sigma=3$
Since $\overline{\text{x}}=\frac{1}{\text{n}}\sum\text{x}_\text{i}$
$\Rightarrow\sum\text{x}_\text{i}=\text{n}\overline{\text{x}}=20\times100=2000$
$\Rightarrow\text{Incorrect}\ \sum\text{x}_\text{i}=2000$
and,
$\sigma=3$
$\Rightarrow\sigma^2=9$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{\text{n}}\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2-(\text{Mean})^2=9$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{100}\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2-400=9$
$\Rightarrow\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2=409\times100$
$\Rightarrow\text{Incorrect}\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2=40900.$
When the incorrect observation 21, 21, 18 are omitted from the data:
n = 97
Now, $\text{Incorrect}\sum\text{x}_\text{i}=2000$
$\Rightarrow\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}=2000-21-21-18=1940$
and,
$\text{Incorrect}\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2=40900$
$\Rightarrow\text{Corrected}\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}^2}=40900-21^2-21^2-18^2$
$\Rightarrow\text{Corrected}\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}^2}=40900-1206$
$\Rightarrow\text{Corrected}\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}^2}=39694$
$\therefore\text{Corrected}\ \text{mean}=\frac{1940}{97}=20$
$\Rightarrow\text{Corrected}\ \text{variavce}=\frac{1}{97}\big(\text{Corrected}\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2\big)-\big(\text{Corrected}\ \text{mean}\big)^2$
$\Rightarrow\text{Corrected}\ \text{variavce}=\frac{39694}{97}-(20)^2=409.22-400=9.22$
$​​\therefore\text{Corrected}\ \text{standard}\ \text{deviation}=\sqrt{9.22}=3.04$

Question 585 Marks
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 = 40
SD = 10
n = 100
$\sum\text{x}_{\text{i}}=40\times100=4000$
Corrected Sum = 4000 - 30 - 70 + 3 + 27 = 3930
Corrected Mean = $\frac{3930}{100}=39.3$
Variance = 100
$100=\frac{\sum\text{x}_{\text{i}}^2}{100}-(40)^2$
Incorrected $\sum\text{x}_{\text{i}}^2=170000$
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 $\sum\text{x}_{\text{i}}^2=170000-(900+4900)+(9+729)$
Corrected $\sum\text{x}_{\text{i}}^2=164938$
Corrected $\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{\text{Corrected}\sum\text{x}_\text{i}^2}{\text{n}}-(\text{Corrected Mean})^2}$
Corrected $\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{164938}{100}-(39.3)^2}=10.24$

  150     -6   342
Here, $N = 150, A = 45, \sum\text{f}_\text{i}\text{u}_\text{i}=-6,\ \sum\text{f}_\text{i}\text{u}_\text{i}^2=342$ and $h = 10$
$\therefore\text{Mean}=\overline{\text{x}}=\text{A+h}\Big(\frac{1}{\text{N}}\sum\text{f}_\text{i}\text{u}_\text{i}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\overline{\text{x}}=45+10\Big(\frac{-6}{150}\Big)=44.6$
$\text{Var}(\text{X})=\text{h}^2\bigg[\frac{1}{\text{N}}\sum\text{f}_\text{i}\text{u}_\text{i}^2-\Big(\frac{1}{\text{N}}\sum\text{f}_\text{i}\text{u}_\text{i}\Big)^2\bigg]$
$\text{Var}(\text{X})=100\bigg[\frac{342}{150}-\Big(\frac{-6}{150}\Big)^2\bigg]=227.84$
$\therefore\text{S.D.}=\sqrt{\text{Var}(\text{X})}=\sqrt{227.84}=15.09$
Coefficient of variation $=\frac{\text{S.D.}}{\overline{\text{x}}}\times100=\frac{15.09}{44.6}\times100=33.83$
Now, Let's first find the coefficient of variable for Group $G_2$
$CI$ $f$ $x$ $\text{u}=\frac{\text{x}-\text{A}}{\text{h}}$ $fu$ $u^2$ $fu^2$

  150     -6   366
Here, $N = 150, A = 45, \sum\text{f}_\text{i}\text{u}_\text{i}=-6,\ \sum\text{f}_\text{i}\text{u}_\text{i}^2=366$ and $h = 10$
$\therefore\text{Mean}=\overline{\text{x}}=\text{A+h}\Big(\frac{1}{\text{N}}\sum\text{f}_\text{i}\text{u}_\text{i}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\overline{\text{x}}=45+10\Big(\frac{-6}{150}\Big)=44.6$
$\text{Var}(\text{X})=\text{h}^2\bigg[\frac{1}{\text{N}}\sum\text{f}_\text{i}\text{u}_\text{i}^2-\Big(\frac{1}{\text{N}}\sum\text{f}_\text{i}\text{u}_\text{i}\Big)^2\bigg]$
$\text{Var}(\text{X})=100\bigg[\frac{366}{150}-\Big(\frac{-6}{150}\Big)^2\bigg]=243.84$
$\therefore\text{S.D.}=\sqrt{\text{Var}(\text{X})}=\sqrt{227.84}=15.62$
Coefficient of variation $=\frac{\text{S.D.}}{\overline{\text{x}}}\times100=\frac{15.09}{44.6}\times100=35.02$
$\therefore$ Group $G_2$ is more variable.

The lengths $($in $cm)$ of $10$ rods in a shop are given below:
$40.0, 52.3, 55.2, 72.9, 52.8, 79.0, 32.5, 15.2, 27.9, 30.2$
  1. Find mean deviation from median
  2. Find mean deviation from the mean also.
Answer
First arrange the given numbers in assending order
write these number in assending order
$40.0, 52.3, 55.2, 72.9, 52.8, 79.0, 32.5, 15.2, 27.9, 30.2$
we get $15.2, 27.9, 30.2, 32.5, 40.0, 52.3, 52.8, 55.2, 72.9, 79.0$
Clearly, $\text{Median}=\frac{40.0+52.3}{2}=46.15$
Let $\overline{\text{x}}$ be the mean of given data , we get
$\overline{\text{x}}=\frac{15.2+27.9+ 30.2+32.5+40.0+52.3+52.8+55.2+72.9+79.0}{10}=45.8$
Calculation of mean Deviations from mean and median
$x_i$ $|d_i| = |x_i - 46.15|$ $|d_i| = |x_i - 45.8|$
$40.0$ $6.15$ $5.8$

Question 675 Marks
The mean of 5 observation is 4.4 and their variance is 8.24. If three of the observation are 1, 2 and 6, find the other two observation.
Answer
Let the other two be x and y
1 + 2 + 6+ x + y = 5* 4.4 because of the mean
x + y = 13
Variance $=\frac{[(1-4.4)^2+(2-4.4)^2+(6-4.4)^2+(\text{x}-4.4)^2+(\text{y}-4.4)^2]}{5}$
Hence
11.56 + 5.76 + 2.56 + (x - 4.4)^2 + (y4.4)^2 = 41.2
(x - 4.4)^2 + (y - 4.4)^2 = 21.32
Solve simuitaneously
(x - 4.4)^2 + (13 - x - 4.4)^2 = 21.32
(x- 4.4)^2 + (8.6 - x)^2 = 21.32
x^2 - 8.8x + 19.36 + 73.96 - 17.2x + x^2 = 21.32
2x^2 - 26x + 72 = 0
x^2 - 13x + 36 = 0
(x - 4)(x - 9) = 0
x = 4 or x = 9
If x = 4, y = 9 and
The other two observation are4 and 9.

Question 695 Marks
The mean and standard deviation of $100$ observation were calculated as $40$ and $5.1$ respectively by a student who took by mistake $50$ instead of $40$ for one observation. What are the correct mean and standard deviation?
Answer
We have,
$\text{n}=100,\overline{\text{X}}=40,\sigma=5.1$
$\therefore\overline{\text{X}}=\frac{1}{\text{n}}\sum\text{x}_\text{i}=\overline{\text{X}}=100\times40=4000.$
Corrected $\sum\text{x}_\text{i}$ = Incorrected $\sum\text{x}_\text{i}$ - (sum of incorrect values) + (sum of correct values)
= 4000 -50 + 40 = 3990
$\therefore\text{Corrected}\ \text{mean}=\frac{\text{corrected}\sum\text{x}_\text{i}}{\text{n}}=\frac{3990}{100}=39.9$
Now $\sigma=5.1$
$\Rightarrow5.1^2=\frac{1}{100}\Big(\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2\Big)-\Big(\frac{1}{100}\sum\text{x}_\text{i}\Big)^2$
$\Rightarrow26.01=\frac{1}{100}\Big(\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2\Big)-\Big(\frac{4000}{100}\Big)^2$
$\Rightarrow26.01=\frac{1}{100}\Big(\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2\Big)-1600$
$\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2=100\times1626.01=162601$
Incorrect $\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2=162601$
corrected $\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2$ = $ \big(\text{incorrected}\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2\big)$ - (sum of squers of incorrect values) + (sum of squers of correct values)
$= 162601 - (50)^2+ (40)^2= 161701$
so, Corrected $\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{1}{\text{n}}\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2-\Big(\frac{1}{\text{n}}\sum\text{x}_\text{i}}\Big)^2=\sqrt{\frac{161701}{100}-\Big(\frac{3990}{100}}\Big)^2$
$=\sqrt{1617.01-1592.01}=5$

Question 725 Marks
The variance of 15 bservation is 4. If each observation is increased by 9, find the variance of the resulting observation.
Answer
We have, n = 15, and $\sigma^2=4$
Now each observation is increasedd by 9.
Suposs X = x +9 be the new data.
$\therefore\overline{\text{X}}=\frac{1}{15}\sum(\text{x}_\text{i}+9)=\Big(\frac{1}{15}\times\sum\text{x}_\text{i}\Big)+9=\overline{\text{x}}+9$
$\Rightarrow\sum{\text{X}_\text{i}}^{2}=\sum(\text{x}_\text{i}+9)^2=\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2+\sum18\text{x}_\text{i}+\sum9^2$
Since, $\sigma^2=5$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{\text{n}}\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2-(\overline{\text{x}})^2=4$
Now, for the new data:
$\sigma^2=\frac{1}{\text{n}}\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2-(\overline{\text{x}})^2=\frac{1}{15}\big(\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2+\sum18\text{x}_\text{i}+\sum9^2\big)-\big(\overline{\text{x}}+9\big)^2$
$=\frac{1}{15}\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2+\frac{1}{15}\sum18\text{x}_\text{i}+\frac{1}{15}\sum9^2-(9)^2-(18\overline{\text{x}})-(\overline{\text{x}})^2$
$=\Big[\frac{1}{15}\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2-(\overline{\text{x}})^2\Big]+\Big[\frac{1}{15}\sum18\text{x}_\text{i}-(18\overline{\text{x}})\Big]+\Big[\frac{1}{15}\sum9^2-(9)^2\Big]$
$=\Big[\frac{1}{15}\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2-(\overline{\text{x}})^2\Big]+\Big[18\times\frac{1}{15}\sum\text{x}_\text{i}-(18\overline{\text{x}})\Big]+\Big[\frac{1}{15}\times15\times(9)^2-(9)^2\Big]$
$=\frac{1}{15}\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2-(\overline{\text{x}})^2$
$=4$

Question 735 Marks
For a group of $200$ candidates, the mean and standard deviations of scores were found to be $40$ and $15$ respectively. Later on it was discovered that the scores of $43$ and $35$ were misread as $34$ and $53$ respectively. Find the correct mean and standard deviation.
Answer
We have,
$\text{n}=200,\overline{\text{X}}=40,\sigma=15.$
$\therefore\overline{\text{X}}=\frac{1}{\text{n}}\sum\text{x}_\text{i}=\overline{\text{X}}=200\times40=8000.$
Corrected $\sum\text{x}_\text{i}$ = Incorrected $\sum\text{x}_\text{i}$ - (sum of incorrect values) + (sum of correct values)
= 8000 - 34 - 53 + 43 + 35 = 7991
$\therefore\text{Corrected}\ \text{mean}=\frac{\text{corrected}\sum\text{x}_\text{i}}{\text{n}}=\frac{7991}{200}=39.955$
Now $\sigma=15$
$\Rightarrow15^2=\frac{1}{200}\Big(\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2\Big)-\Big(\frac{1}{200}\sum\text{x}_\text{i}\Big)^2$
$\Rightarrow255=\frac{1}{200}\Big(\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2\Big)-\Big(\frac{8000}{200}\Big)^2$
$\Rightarrow255=\frac{1}{200}\Big(\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2\Big)-1600$
$\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2=200\times1825=365000$
Incorrect $\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2=365000$
corrected $\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2$ = $ \big(\text{incorrected}\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2\big)$ - (sum of squers of incorrect values) + (sum of squers of correct values)
$= 365000 - (34)^2 - 53^2+ (43)^2+ 35^2 = 364109$
so, Corrected $\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{1}{\text{n}}\sum{\text{x}_\text{i}}^2-\Big(\frac{1}{\text{n}}\sum\text{x}_\text{i}}\Big)^2=\sqrt{\frac{364109}{200}-\Big(\frac{7991}{200}}\Big)^2$
$=\sqrt{1820.545-1596.402}=14.97$
