Statistics

Question 1 :

Find the mean deviation about the mean for the data in Exercises 1 and 2.

Exercise 1 : 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 17

Exercise 2 : 2. 38, 70, 48, 40, 42, 55, 63, 46, 54, 44

 

 

Answer :

Exercise 1 : 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 17

First, we have to find (x̅) of the given data.

NCERT Soluitons for Class 11 Maths Chapter 15 Statistics Image 1

So, the respective values of the deviations from mean,

i.e., xi – x̅ are, 10 – 4 = 6, 10 – 7 = 3, 10 – 8 = 2, 10 – 9 = 1, 10 – 10 = 0,

10 – 12 = – 2, 10 – 13 = – 3, 10 – 17 = – 7

6, 3, 2, 1, 0, -2, -3, -7

Now, absolute values of the deviations,

6, 3, 2, 1, 0, 2, 3, 7

NCERT Soluitons for Class 11 Maths Chapter 15 Statistics Image 2

MD = sum of deviations/ number of observations

= 24/8

= 3

So, the mean deviation for the given data is 3.

Exercise 2 : 2. 38, 70, 48, 40, 42, 55, 63, 46, 54, 44

First, we have to find (x̅) of the given data.

NCERT Soluitons for Class 11 Maths Chapter 15 Statistics Image 3

So, the respective values of the deviations from mean,

i.e., xi – x̅ are, 50 – 38 = -12, 50 -70 = -20, 50 – 48 = 2, 50 – 40 = 10, 50 – 42 = 8,

50 – 55 = – 5, 50 – 63 = – 13, 50 – 46 = 4, 50 – 54 = -4, 50 – 44 = 6

-12, 20, -2, -10, -8, 5, 13, -4, 4, -6

Now, absolute values of the deviations,

12, 20, 2, 10, 8, 5, 13, 4, 4, 6

NCERT Soluitons for Class 11 Maths Chapter 15 Statistics Image 4

MD = sum of deviations/ number of observations

= 84/10

= 8.4

So, the mean deviation for the given data is 8.4.

 


Question 2 :

Find the mean deviation about the median for the data.

3. 13, 17, 16, 14, 11, 13, 10, 16, 11, 18, 12, 17

 

Answer :

First, we have to arrange the given observations into ascending order.

10, 11, 11, 12, 13, 13, 14, 16, 16, 17, 17, 18.

The number of observations is 12.

Then,

Median = ((12/2)th observation + ((12/2)+ 1)th observation)/2

(12/2)th observation = 6th = 13

(12/2)+ 1)th observation = 6 + 1

= 7th = 14

Median = (13 + 14)/2

= 27/2

= 13.5

So, the absolute values of the respective deviations from the median, i.e., |xi – M| are

3.5, 2.5, 2.5, 1.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 2.5, 2.5, 3.5, 3.5, 4.5

NCERT Soluitons for Class 11 Maths Chapter 15 Statistics Image 5

Mean Deviation

NCERT Soluitons for Class 11 Maths Chapter 15 Statistics Image 6

= (1/12) × 28

= 2.33

So, the mean deviation about the median for the given data is 2.33.

 


Question 3 :

Find the mean deviation about the median for the data

4. 36, 72, 46, 42, 60, 45, 53, 46, 51, 49

Answer :

First, we have to arrange the given observations into ascending order.

36, 42, 45, 46, 46, 49, 51, 53, 60, 72.

The number of observations is 10.

Then,

Median = ((10/2)th observation + ((10/2)+ 1)th observation)/2

(10/2)th observation = 5th = 46

(10/2)+ 1)th observation = 5 + 1

= 6th = 49

Median = (46 + 49)/2

= 95

= 47.5

So, the absolute values of the respective deviations from the median, i.e., |xi – M| are

11.5, 5.5, 2.5, 1.5, 1.5, 1.5, 3.5, 5.5, 12.5, 24.5

NCERT Soluitons for Class 11 Maths Chapter 15 Statistics Image 7

= (1/10) × 70

So, the mean deviation about the median for the given data is 7.

Now, N = 26, which is even.

Median is the mean of the 13th and 14th observations. Both of these observations lie in the cumulative frequency of 14, for which the corresponding observation is 7.

Then,

Median = (13th observation + 14th observation)/2

= (7 + 7)/2

= 14/2

= 7

So, the absolute values of the respective deviations from the median, i.e., |xi – M| are shown in the table.

Now, N = 29, which is odd.

So, 29/2 = 14.5

The cumulative frequency greater than 14.5 is 21, for which the corresponding observation is 30.

Then,

Median = (15th observation + 16th observation)/2

= (30 + 30)/2

= 60/2

= 30

So, the absolute values of the respective deviations from the median, i.e., |xi – M| are shown in the table.

Question 7 :

 First 10 multiples of 3

First, we have to write the first 10 multiples of 3.

3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30

NCERT Soluitons for Class 11 Maths Chapter 15 Statistics Image 24

So, x̅ = (3 + 6 + 9 + 12 + 15 + 18 + 21 + 24 + 27 + 30)/10

= 165/10

= 16.5

Let us make the table of the data and append other columns after calculations.

Then, the Variance

= (1/10) × 742.5

= 74.25

∴Mean = 16.5 and Variance = 74.25

The class interval containing Nth/2 or 25th item is 20-30.

So, 20-30 is the median class.

Then,

Median = l + (((N/2) – c)/f) × h

Where, l = 20, c = 14, f = 14, h = 10 and n = 50

Median = 20 + (((25 – 14))/14) × 10

= 20 + 7.85

The class interval containing Nth/2 or 50th item is 35.5 – 40.5

So, 35.5 – 40.5 is the median class.

Then,

Median = l + (((N/2) – c)/f) × h

Where, l = 35.5, c = 37, f = 26, h = 5 and N = 100

Median = 35.5 + (((50 – 37))/26) × 5

= 35.5 + 2.5

NCERT Soluitons for Class 11 Maths Chapter 15 Statistics Image 28

Where A = 64, h = 1

So, x̅ = 64 + ((0/100) × 1)

= 64 + 0

= 64

Then, the variance,

NCERT Soluitons for Class 11 Maths Chapter 15 Statistics Image 29

σ2 = (12/1002) [100(286) – 02]

= (1/10000) [28600 – 0]

= 28600/10000

= 2.86

Hence, standard deviation = σ = √2.886

= 1.691

∴ Mean = 64 and Standard Deviation = 1.691

Where, A = 92.5, h = 5

So, x̅ = 92.5 + ((6/60) × 5)

= 92.5 + 0.5

= 93

Then, the Variance,

σ2 = (52/602) [60(254) – 62]

= (1/144) [15240 – 36]

= 105.583

Hence, standard deviation = σ = √105.583

= 10.275

∴ Mean = 93, variance = 105.583 and Standard Deviation = 10.275

For comparing the variability or dispersion of two series, we calculate the coefficient of variance for each series. The series having greater C.V. is said to be more variable than the other. The series having lesser C.V. is said to be more consistent than the other.

Co-efficient of variation (C.V.) = (σ/ x̅) × 100

Where A = 45,

Here h = class size = 20 – 10

h = 10

So, x̅ = 45 + ((-6/150) × 10)

∴ C.V for group B = (σ/ x̅) × 100

= (15.61/44.6) × 100

= 35

By comparing the C.V. of group A and group B.

C.V of Group B > C.V. of Group A

So, Group B is more variable.

We have to calculate Mean for x,

Mean x̅ = ∑xi/n

Where, n = number of terms

= 510/10

= 51

Then, Variance for x =NCERT Soluitons for Class 11 Maths Chapter 15 Statistics Image 41

= (1/102)[(10 × 26360) – 5102]

= (1/100) (263600 – 260100)

= 3500/100

= 35

WKT Standard deviation = √variance

= √35

= 5.91

So, co-efficient of variation = (σ/ x̅) × 100

= (5.91/51) × 100

= 11.58

Now, we have to calculate Mean for y,

Mean ȳ = ∑yi/n

Where, n = number of terms

= 1050/10

= 105

Then, Variance for y =NCERT Soluitons for Class 11 Maths Chapter 15 Statistics Image 42

= (1/102)[(10 × 110290) – 10502]

= (1/100) (1102900 – 1102500)

= 400/100

= 4

WKT Standard deviation = √variance

= √4

= 2

So, co-efficient of variation = (σ/ x̅) × 100

= (2/105) × 100

= 1.904

By comparing C.V. of X and Y,

C.V of X > C.V. of Y

So, Y is more stable than X.

 


Question 21 :

An analysis of monthly 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 wages earners

586

648

Mean of monthly wages

Rs 5253

Rs 5253

Variance of the distribution of wages

100

121

(i) Which firm, A or B, pays a larger amount as monthly wages?

(ii) Which firm, A or B, shows greater variability in individual wages?

 

Answer :

(i) From the given table,

Mean monthly wages of firm A = Rs 5253

and Number of wage earners = 586

Then,

Total amount paid = 586 × 5253

= Rs 3078258

Mean monthly wages of firm B = Rs 5253

Number of wage earners = 648

Then,

Total amount paid = 648 × 5253

= Rs 34,03,944

So, firm B pays larger amount as monthly wages.

(ii) Variance of firm A = 100

We know that, standard deviation (σ)= √100

=10

Variance of firm B = 121

Then,

Standard deviation (σ)=√(121 )

=11

Hence, the standard deviation is more in case of Firm B. That means, in firm B, there is greater variability in individual wages.
