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?
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.

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.
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
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.
Let us assume the remaining two observations be x and 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

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

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

Calculate the correct mean and standard deviation in each of the following cases:
If wrong item is omitted
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
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
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

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

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
