Question 1:

The daily wages of ten workers are given below. Find out range and its coefficient.

No. of Workers : A B C D E F G H I J
Wages in (₹) : 175 50 50 55 100 90 125 145 70 60

Answer:

Range = Largest item (L) − Smallest item (S)
          =175 − 50 = 125

Coefficient of Range=L-SL+S=175-50175+50                             =125225=0.55

Question 2:

Following are the marks obtained by students in Sec . A and Sec . B . Compare the range of marks of students in two sections:

Marks ( Section A) : 20 25 28 45 15 30
Marks ( Section B) : 45 52 36 42 28 25
 

Answer:

For Section A
Range = Largest item (L) − Smallest item (S)
          = 45 − 15 = 30
Coefficient of Range=L-SL+S=45-1545+15                              =3060=0.5

For Section B
Range = Largest item (L) − Smallest item (S)
          = 52 − 25 = 27
Coefficient of Range=L-SL+S                              =52-2552+25=2777                              =0.351
Thus, range of marks of students in section A is greater than range of marks of students in section B.

July Aug. Sep. Oct. Nov. Dec.
−0.1 −0.6 −1.5 −0.6 −1.9 −6.1
 

Answer:

(a) Range = Largest item (L) − Smallest item (S)

= 85 − 35 = 50
Coefficient of Range=L-SL+S=85-3585+35                                     =50120=0.42

(b) Range = Largest item (L) − Smallest item (S)
= +3.3 − (−6.1)
= +3.3 + 6.1 = +9.4
Coefficient of Range=L-SL+S                              =+3.3--6.1+3.3+-6.1                              =+3.3+6.1+3.3-6.1=+9.4-2.8                              =-3.36

Question 7:

Calculate range and coefficient of range for the following distribution:

Class : 1-5 6-10 11-15 16-20 21-25 26-30
Frequency : 2 8 15 35 20 10
 

Answer:

The given series is an inclusive series. For the calculation of range the given series must first be converted into exclusive series as follows:
 

Inclusive class Exclusive class Frequency
1−5      0.5−5.5 2
6−10   5.5−10.5 8
11−15 10.5−15.5 15
16−20 15.5−20.5 35
21−25 20.5−25.5 20
26−30 25.5−30.5 10

Range = Largest item (L) − Smallest item (S)
          = 30.5 − 0.5 = 30

Coefficient of Range=L-SL+S=30.5-0.530.5+0.5                              =3031=0.97

Answer:

Height Cumulative Frequency Frequency
161−162 2 2
162−163 8 8−2 = 6
163−164 19 19−8 = 11
164−165 32 32−19 = 13
165−166 45 45−32 = 13
166−167 58 58−45 = 13
167−168 85 85−58 = 27
168−169 93 93−85 = 8
169−170 100 100−93 = 7

For the calculation of range, the given data must be converted in continuous series as done above.

Range = Largest item (L) − Smallest item (S)
          = 170 − 161 = 9

Coefficient of Range=L-SL+S=170-161170+161                              =9331=0.03

  N = 60  
The first quartile class is given by the size of the N4thitem, i.e. the 604thitem, which is the 15th item.
This corresponds to the class interval 20−30, so this is the first quartile class.

Q1=l1+N4-c.ff×i    =20+15-1210×10    =23
The third quartile class is given by the size of the 3N4thitem, i.e. the 3604thitem, which is the 45th item.
This corresponds to the class interval 40−50, so this is the third quartile class.

  N = 50  

The first quartile class is given by the size of the N4thitem, i.e. the 504thitem, which is the 12.5th item.
This corresponds to the class interval 10−15, so this is the first quartile class.
Q1=l1+N2-c.ff×i    =10+12.5-96×5    =10+3.5×56    =10+2.92    =12.92
The third quartile class is given by the size of the 3N4thitem, i.e. the 3504thitem, which is the 37.5th item.
This corresponds to the class interval 25−30, so this is the third quartile class.

Question 30:

Find Mean Deviation from median of the marks secured by 100 students in a class-test as given below:

No. of Students : 5 18 42 27 8
 

Answer:

(M= 67.93)

72−75 73.5 8 100 5.57 44.56
    Σf = 100     Σf|DM| = 225.9
The median class is given by the size of the N2thitem, i.e. the 1002thitem, which is the 50th item.
This corresponds to the class interval 66−69, so this is the median class.

  ΣX = 700   ΣX-X2=812

The mean of the given series can be calculated in the following manner.
X=ΣXN=70010=70
To calculate standard deviation, we use the following formula.
SD σ=ΣX-X2NPutting the vaules we get,SD σ=81210=81.2=9.01
Thus, standard deviation of wage earner's daily earnings is 9.01.

Question 45:

You are given the following data about height of boys and girls:

  Boys Girls
Number 72 38
Average height( in inches) 68 61
Variance of distribution (in inches) 9 4

(a) Calculate Coefficient of Variation.
(b) Decide whose height is more variable.

Answer:

(a)
For Boys
Standard Deviation=Variance=9=3Coefficient of variance=SDX×100                                =368×100=4.41%

For Girls
Standard deviation=Variance=4=2Coefficient of variance=SDX×100                                =261×100=3.27%
(b) Since coefficient of variance of boys is more than that of girls, thus the height of boys is more variable.

The following table gives the distribution of wages in the two branches of a factory:

Monthly wages ( in â‚¹) : 100-150 150-200 200-250 250-300 300-350 Total
Number of workers :            
Branch A : 167 207 253 205 168 1000
Branch B : 63 93 157 105 82 500
Find the mean and standard deviation for the two branches for the wages separately.

Question 58:

Coefficient of variation of two series are 58% and 69% and their standard deviation are 21.2 and 15.6 . What are their means?

Answer:

Let the first series be A.
Now,
Coefficient of variation of A = 58%
σA = 21.2
Coefficient of variation of A=SDAXA58%=21.2XA58100=21.2XA XA=21.2×10058 =36.55 

Let the second series B.
Now,
Coefficient of variation of B= 69%
σB = 21.2
Coefficient of variation of B=SDBXB69%=15.6XB69100=15.6XB XB=15.6×10069=22.608
Thus, means of series A and series B are 36.55 and 22.608 respectively.

Question 59:

If the coefficient of variation of X series is 14.6%  and that of Y series is 36.9% and their means are 101.2 and 101.25 respectively. Find their standard deviation.

Answer:

For first series,
Coefficient of variation of A = 14.6%
XA=101.2Coefficient of variation of A=SDAXA14.6%=SDAXA SDA=14.6×101.2100=14.775

For second series,
Coefficient of variation of B= 36.9%
XB=101.25Coefficient of variation of B=SDBXB36.9%=SDB101.25 SDB=36.9×101.25100=37.36
Thus, standard deviations of first and second series are 14.775 and 37.36 respectively.
