Question 1:

Calculate figures and coefficient  of range of the following series, which gives the monthly expenditure (in ₹) of seven students: 22, 35, 32, 45, 42, 48, 39

Answer:

Given:
Highest Value (H) =48
Lowest Value (L) =22

Range = Highest Value − Lowest Value

i.e R= H−  L

Substituting the given values in the formula.

R= 48 − 22 = 26

Coefficient of Range = H- LH + L=48-2248+22=2670=0.37                                                                    
Thus, range is 26 and coefficient of range is 0.37

Question 2:

Find range and coefficient of range from the weekly wage (in ₹) of  10 workers of a factory: 310, 350, 420, 105, 115, 290, 245, 450, 300, 375.

Answer:


Given:
Highest Value (H) = 450
Lowest Value (L) = 105

Range = Highest Value − Lowest Value

i.e R= H−  L

Substituting the given values in the formula.

R= 450 − 105 = 345

Coefficient of Range = H-LH + L=450-105450+105=345555=0.62                                                                          

Thus, range is 345 and coefficient of range is 0.62

Question 3:

Find the range and coefficient of range of the following:

Size of shoes 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
No. of shoes sold 8 12 14 20 15 8 7 10

Answer:

Size of Shoes No. of Shoes Sold
6 8
7 12
8 14
9 20
10 15
11 8
12 7
13 10

Highest value (H) = 13
Lowest value (L) = 6
Range = Highest value − Lowest value
i.e. R = HL
or, R = 13 − 6=7
Coefficient of Range=H-LH+L=13-613+6=719=0.368=0.37 approx

Note- As the given data series is a discrete series, where in order to calculate Range, frequencies are not taken into account. Hence, in this case, the formula for Range remains the same as it is for the individual series.

Question 4:

From the following data calculate range and coefficient of range:

Marks 10 20 30 40 50 60 70
No. of Studends 8 12 7 30 10 5 2

Answer:

Marks No. of Students
10 8
20 12
30 7
40 30
50 10
60 5
70 2

Highest value (H) = 70
Lowest value (L) = 10

Range = Highest value − Lowest value

i.e. R = H−L

or, R = 70 − 10= 60 marks

Coefficient of Range=H-LH+L=70-1070+10=6080=0.75

Note- As the given data series is a discrete series, where in order to calculate Range, frequencies are not taken into account. Hence, in this case, the formula for Range remains the same as it is for the individual series.

Question 5:

Find out range and coefficient range.

Marks 10−20 20−30 30−40 40−50 50−60
No. of students 12 18 14 63 19

Answer:

Marks No. of Students
10 − 20 12
20 − 30 18
30 − 40 14
40 − 50 63
50 − 60 19

Range = Upper Limit of the Highest Class Interval - Lower Limit of the Lowest Class Intervalor, Range = 60 - 10 = 50

Coefficient of Range = H-LH+L=60-1060+10=5070=0.715                                                                          

Hence, the range is 50 marks and coefficient of range is 0.715

Marks 5−9 10−14 15−19 20−24 25−29 30−34
No. Students 4 6 3 2 6 4

Answer:

In order to calculate range and its coefficient, we must first convert the given inclusive class intervals in exclusive class intervals.
 

Class Interval Exclusive Class Interval Frequency

Range = Upper Limit of the Highest Class Interval - Lower Limit of the Lowest Class Intervalor, Range = 34.5 - 4.5= 30

Coefficient of Range = H- LH + L=34.5-4.534.5+4.5=3039=0.769

    N=50

Q1 = Size of N4th item
     = Size of 504th item
     = Size of 12.5th item

12.5th item lies in group  200−300 and falls within 20thc.f. of the series.

Q1=l1+ N4-c. f.f×i

Here,
l₁=Lower limit of the class interval

Here,
l₁=Lower limit of the class interval

Now, we need to locate this item in the column of Cumulative Frequency. The item just exceeding 24.5 th item is 33 (in the c.f. column), which is corresponding to 12.

Hence, median is 12.

Answer:

Calculating combined standard deviation,

1, 2  σ=N1σ12+N2 σ22+N1d12+N2d22N1+N2where,N1=50           N2=100σ1=8             σ2=7X¯1=54.1        X¯2=50.3

To calculate combined standard deviation, we need to find the combined mean of the observations.

Thus, Combined mean is

X¯12=N1 X¯1+N2 X¯2N1+N2=50×54.1+100×50.3150=2705+5030150=7735150=51.57d12=X¯1-X¯122=54.1-51.572=2.532=6.40d22=X2-X¯1,22=50.3-51.572=-1.272=1.61Thus, Combined standard deviation will be:σ1,2=50 82+10072+50 6.4+100 1.61150or, σ1,2=3200+4900+320+161150or, σ1,2=8581150or, σ1,2=57.20σ1,2=7.56

Answer:

Calculating combined standard deviation,

1, 2  σ=N1σ12+N2 σ22+N1d12+N2d22N1+N2where,N1=100           N2=50X¯1=36        X¯2=45σ1=9             σ2=6

To calculate combined standard deviation, we need to find the combined mean of the observations.

Thus, Combined mean is

X¯12=N1 X¯1+N2 X¯2N1+N2=100 36+50 45150=3600+2250150= Rs 39d12=X¯1-X¯122=36-392=-32=9d22=X¯2-X¯122=45-392=62=36Thus, Combined standard deviation will be:1,2σ=N1σ12+N2 σ22+N1d 12+N2d 22N1+N2or, σ1,2=100 92+5062+100 9+50 36150or, σ1,2=8100+1800+900+1800150or, σ1,2=12600150or, σ1,2=84 σ1,2=9.16

Question 37:

The following table gives the weights of one hundred persons. Copute the coefficient of dispersion by the method of limits.

No. of persons 4 13 8 14 9 16 17 9 8 2

Answer:

Given:

Upper limit of the Highest Class Interval (H) = 90
Lower limit of the Lowest Class Interval (L) = 40

Range = Highest Value − Lowest Value

i.e R= H−  L

Substituting the given values in the formula.

R= 90 − 40= 50

Coefficeint of Range=H-LH+L=90-4090+40=50130=0.384

Hence, range of the above series is 50 kg and coefficient of range is 0.384

Question 42:

The mean and standard deviation of a series of 20 items are 20 and 5 respectively. While calculating these measures, an item of 13 was wrongly read as 30. Find out the correct mean and standard deviation.

Answer:

Calculating correct Mean, by using the following observations:

X¯wrong=ΣXwrongNΣXwrong=X¯wrong×NΣXwrong=20×20ΣXwrong=400 ΣXcorrect=ΣXwrong -incorrect item+correct item ΣXcorrect=400-30+13 ΣXcorrect=383X¯correct=ΣXcorrectN=38320=19.15Calculation of Correct S.D.σ=Σx2N-X¯25=Σx220-202

Squaring both sides

25=Σx220-400

425 × 20 = Σx2

 Σx2wrong= 8500

Σx2correct = Σx2wrong − (Incorrect item)2 + (Correct item)2

Σx2correct= 8500 − (30)2 + (13)2
Σx2correct= 8500 − 900 + 169 = 7769

 σCorrect=Σx2Correct N- XCorrect2or,  σCorrect=776920-19.152or,  σCorrect=388.45-366.72or,  σCorrect=21.73 σCorrect=4.66

Hence, correct mean and standard deviation are 19.15 and 4.66 respectively.

Question 45:

In two Towns A and B, daily pocket money and the standard deviation are given below:

Town Average Daily Pocket Standard Deviation No. of Teenagers
A 34.5 5.0 476
B 28.5 4.5 524

(i) Which town, A or B, pays out the larger amount of daily pocket money?
(ii) What is the average daily pocket money of all teenagers taken together?
(iii) Calculate coefficient of variation of each town. Which town is more variable in terms of pocket money?

Answer:

(i) Town A
Daily pocket money = Average Daily Pocket × No. of teenagers
                                 = 34.5 × 476
                                 = Rs 16422

Town B
Daily Pocket Money = 28.5 × 524
                                 = Rs 14934

Town 'A' pays larger amount of daily pocket money.

(ii) Solution:

In order to find out average daily pocket money of all teenagers, we need find out the combined mean of their pocket money.

Thus,

XA=34.5, NA=476XB=28.5, NB=524

XA,B=XA NA+XB NBNA+NBor, XA,B =34.5×476+28.5×524476+524or, XA,B =16422+149341000or, XA,B =313561000 XA,B = Rs 31.356=Rs 31.36 approx

(iii)
C.V. of A=σAXA×100=534.5×100  =14.49%          C.V. of B=σBXB×100  =4.528.5×100=15.79%                          

Town B is more variable in terms of pocket money as its C.V. is higher than that of C.V. of Town A.

  Σf = 60   Σfm = 3100   Σfm2 = 173900


Mean (X)=ΣfmΣf=310060=51.67Standard deviation (σ)=Σfm2Σf-X2 =17390060-51.672 =2898.33-2669.79 =228.54 =15.11

Hence, mean and standard deviation of the above series are 51.67 marks and 15.11 marks respectively.
