Question 3.

An analysis of monthly wages paid to workers in two firms A and B, belonging to the same industry, gives the following results:



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

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


Answer:

Here

Mean monthly wages of firm A = 5253


No. of wage earners = 586


Total amount paid = 586 × 5253 = 3078258


Mean monthly wages of firm B = 5253


No. of wage earners = 648


Total amount paid = 648 × 5253 = 340 3944


(i) Hence the firm B pays larger amount as monthly wages.


(ii) Variance of firm A = 100


⇒ standard deviation (σ)= √100=10


Variance of firm B = 121


⇒ Standard deviation (σ)=√(121 )=11


Since the standard deviation is more in case of Firm B that means in firm B there is greater variability in individual wages.

Miscellaneous Exercise
Question 1.

The mean and variance of eight observations are 9 and 9.25, respectively. If six of the observations are 6, 7, 10, 12, 12 and 13, find the remaining two observations.


Answer:

Let us assume the remaining two observations to be x and y respectively such that,

Observations: 6, 7, 10, 12, 12, 13, x, y.


∴ Mean,



60 + x + y = 72


x + y = 12 (i)




By using (i)





So, from equation (i) we have:



Thus, from (ii) and (iii), we have


2xy = 64 (iv)


Now by subtracting (iv) from (ii), we get:


x2 + y2 – 2xy = 80 – 64


x – y = 4 (v)


Hence, from equation (i) and (v) we have:


When x – y = 4 then x = 8 and y = 4


And, when x – y = - 4 then x = 4 and y = 8


∴ The remaining observations are 4 and 8



Question 2.

The mean and variance of 7 observations are 8 and 16, respectively. If five of the observations are 2, 4, 10, 12, 14. Find the remaining two observations.


Answer:

Let us assume the remaining two observations be x and y

The given observations in the question are 2, 4, 10, 12, 14, x, y



x + y = 14 (i)


It is also given in the question that,


Variance = 16


We know that,






x2 + y2 = 112 - 12


x2 + y2 = 100 (ii)


Thus, by using (i) we have:


x2 + y2 + 2xy = 196 (iii)


Now, from equation (ii) and (iii) we have:


2xy = 196 – 100


2xy = 96 (iv)


Now subtracting equation (iv) from (ii), we get:


x2 + y2 – 2xy = 100 – 96


(x – y)2 = 4


x – y = 2 (v)


Hence, from equation (i) and (v) we have:


When x – y = 2 then x = 8 and y = 6


And, when x – y = - 2 then x = 6 and y = 8


∴ The remaining observations are 6 and 8



Question 3.

The mean and standard deviation of six observations are 8 and 4, respectively. If each observation is multiplied by 3, find the new mean and new standard deviation of the resulting observations.


Answer:

Let us assume the observations be x1, x2, x3, x4, x5 and x6

It is given in the question that,


Mean = 8 and Standard deviation = 4



Now, according to question if each observation is multiplied by 3 and the resulting observations are yi then, we have:


yi = 3xi





= 3 × 8


= 24


We know that,





Hence, from (i) and (ii) we have:




Now, by substituting the values of xi and in (ii) we have:





Therefore, standard deviation of new observation = = 12



Question 4.

Given that is the mean and is the variance of n observations x1, x2, ...,xn.

Prove that the mean and variance of the observations ax1, ax2, ax3, ...., axn are and , respectively,


Answer:

The given n observations in the question are x1, x2,…..xn

Also, mean =


And, variance = σ2


We know that,



According to the condition given in the question, if each of the observation is being multiplied by a and the new observation are yi the, we have:


yi = axi








Hence, mean of the observations ax1, ax2,…..axn is a


Now, by substituting the values of xi and in (i), we get:




Hence, the variance of the given observations ax1, ax2,….axn is a2σ2



Question 5.

The mean and standard deviation of 20 observations are found to be 10 and 2, respectively. On rechecking, it was found that an observation 8 was incorrect.

Calculate the correct mean and standard deviation in each of the following cases:

If wrong item is omitted


Answer:

It is given in the question that,

Total number of observations (n) = 20


Also, incorrect mean = 20


And, incorrect standard deviation = 2





Thus, incorrect sum of observations = 200


Hence, correct sum of observations = 200 – 8


= 192




= 10.1






Thus,


= 2080 – 64


= 2016





= 2.02



Question 6.

The mean and standard deviation of 20 observations are found to be 10 and 2, respectively. On rechecking, it was found that an observation 8 was incorrect.

Calculate the correct mean and standard deviation in each of the following cases:

If it is replaced by 12


Answer:

It is given in the question that,

Total number of incorrect sum of observations = 200


Also, correct sum of observations = 200 – 8 + 12


= 204




= 10.2


Now, we know that:






Thus,


= 2080 – 64 + 144


= 2160






= 1.98



Question 7.

The mean and standard deviation of marks obtained by 50 students of a class in three subjects, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry are given below:



Which of the three subjects shows the highest variability in marks and which shows the lowest?


Answer:

It is given in the question that,

Standard deviation of mathematics = 12


Also, standard deviation of physics = 15


And, standard deviation of chemistry = 20


We know that,






Hence, subject with highest variability in marks is chemistry as subject with the greater C.V is more variable than others


And, Subject with lowest variability in marks is mathematics



Question 8.

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 observations were incorrect, which were recorded as 21, 21 and 18. Find the mean and standard deviation if the incorrect observations are omitted.


Answer:

It is given in the question that,

Total number of observations (n) = 100


Incorrect mean, () = 20


And, Incorrect standard deviation () = 3





Thus, incorrect sum of observations is 2000


Now, correct sum of observations = 2000 – 21 – 21 – 18


= 2000 – 60


= 1940




= 20








= 40900 – 441 – 441 – 324


= 40900 – 1206


= 39694





= 3.036
