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
Exercise 1 : 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 17
First, we have to find (x̅) of the given data.
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
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.
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
MD = sum of deviations/ number of observations
= 84/10
= 8.4
So, the mean deviation for the given data is 8.4.
Find the mean deviation about the median for the data.
3. 13, 17, 16, 14, 11, 13, 10, 16, 11, 18, 12, 17
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
Mean Deviation
= (1/12) × 28
= 2.33
So, the mean deviation about the median for the given data is 2.33.
Find the mean deviation about the median for the data
4. 36, 72, 46, 42, 60, 45, 53, 46, 51, 49
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
Mean Deviation
= (1/10) × 70
= 7
So, the mean deviation about the median for the given data is 7.
Find the mean deviation about the mean for the data in Exercises 5 and 6.

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.
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
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.

742.5 |
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
= 27.85

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

= 9.2
∴Mean = 9 and Variance = 9.25
First n natural numbers
We know that Mean = Sum of all observations/Number of observations
∴Mean, x̅ = ((n(n + 1))2)/n
= (n + 1)/2
and also, WKT Variance,
By substituting the value of x̅, we get
WKT, (a + b)(a – b) = a2 – b2
σ2 = (n2 – 1)/12
∴Mean = (n + 1)/2 and Variance = (n2 – 1)/12

Mean,
Where A = 64, h = 1
So, x̅ = 64 + ((0/100) × 1)
= 64 + 0
= 64
Then, the variance,
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

Mean,
Where, A = 92.5, h = 5
So, x̅ = 92.5 + ((6/60) × 5)
= 92.5 + ½
= 92.5 + 0.5
= 93
Then, the Variance,
σ2 = (52/602) [60(254) – 62]
= (1/144) [15240 – 36]
= 15204/144
= 1267/12
= 105.583
Hence, standard deviation = σ = √105.583
= 10.275
∴ Mean = 93, variance = 105.583 and Standard Deviation = 10.275

Mean,
Where, A = 42.5, h = 4
So, x̅ = 42.5 + (25/100) × 4
= 42.5 + 1
= 43.5
Then, the Variance,
σ2 = (42/1002)[100(199) – 252]
= (1/625) [19900 – 625]
= 19275/625
= 771/25
= 30.84
Hence, standard deviation = σ = √30.84
= 5.553
∴ Mean = 43.5, variance = 30.84 and Standard Deviation = 5.553.

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,
and yi = (xi – A)/h
Here h = class size = 20 – 10
h = 10
So, x̅ = 45 + ((-6/150) × 10)

= 44.6
σ2 = (102/1502) [150(342) – (-6)2]
= (100/22500) [51,300 – 36]
= (100/22500) × 51264
= 227.84
Hence, standard deviation = σ = √227.84

Where A = 45,

So, x̅ = 45 + ((-6/150) × 10)

σ2 = (102/1502) [150(366) – (-6)2]
= (100/22500) [54,900 – 36]
= (100/22500) × 54,864
= 243.84
Hence, standard deviation = σ = √243.84
= 15.61
∴ 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 =
= (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 =
= (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.
An analysis of monthly wages paid to workers in two firms, A and B, belonging to the same industry, gives the following results:

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?
(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.
