If the standard deviation of the numbers 2, 3, 2x, 11 is 3.5, calculate the possible values of x.
Given: Standard Deviation, σ = 3.5
and Numbers are 2, 3, 2x, 11
We know that,
⇒ 12.25 × 16 = 280 – 64x + 12x2
⇒ 196 = 280 – 64x + 12x2
⇒ 12x2 – 64x + 280 – 196 = 0
⇒ 12x2 – 64x + 84 = 0
⇒ 3x2 – 16x + 21 = 0
⇒ 3x2 – 9x – 7x + 21 = 0
⇒ 3x(x – 3) – 7(x – 3) = 0
⇒ (3x – 7)(x – 3) = 0
Putting both the factors equal to 0, we get
3x – 7 = 0 and x – 3 = 0
⇒ 3x = 7 and x = 3

and Let mean =
Given: Variance = 6 and n = 15
We know that,
Putting the given values, we get
or …(i)
It is given that each observation is increased by 8, we get new observations
Let the new observation be y1, y2, y3, …, y15
where yi = xi + 8 …(ii)
or xi = yi – 8 …(iii)
Now, we find the variance of new observations
Now, we calculate the value of
We know that,
[from eq. (ii)]
…(iv)
Putting the value of eq. (iii) and (iv) in eq. (i), we get
So,
= 6

or …(i)
It is given that each observation is multiplied by 2, we get new observations
Let the new observation be y1, y2, y3, …, y20
where yi = 2(xi) …(ii)
or …(iii)
Now, we find the variance of new observations
Now, we calculate the value of
We know that,
[from eq. (ii)]
…(iv)
Putting the value of eq. (iii) and (iv) in eq. (i), we get

The mean and variance of five observations are 6 and 4 respectively. If three of these are 5, 7 and 9, find the other two observations.
Given: Mean of 5 observations = 6
and Variance of 5 observations = 4
Let the other two observations be x and y
∴, our observations are 5, 7, 9, x and y
Now, we know that,
⇒ 6 × 5 = 21 + x + y
⇒ 30 – 21 = x + y
⇒ 9 = x + y
or x + y = 9 …(i)
Also,
Variance = 4
So,
⇒ 20 = 11 + (x2 + 36 – 12x) + (y2 + 36 – 12y)
⇒ 20 – 11 = x2 + 36 – 12x + y2 + 36 – 12y
⇒ 9 = x2 + y2 + 72 – 12(x + y)
⇒ x2 + y2 + 72 – 12(9) – 9 = 0 [from (i)]
⇒ x2 + y2 + 63 – 108 = 0
⇒ x2 + y2 – 45 = 0
⇒ x2 + y2 = 45 …(ii)
From eq. (i)
x + y = 9
Squaring both the sides, we get
(x + y)2 = (9)2
⇒ x2 + y2 + 2xy = 81
⇒ 45 + 2xy = 81 [from (ii)]
⇒ 2xy = 81 – 45
⇒ 2xy = 36
⇒ xy = 18
…(iii)
Putting the value of x in eq. (i), we get
x + y = 9
⇒ y2 + 18 = 9y
⇒ y2 – 9y +18 = 0
⇒ y2 – 6y – 3y + 18 = 0
⇒ y(y – 6) – 3(y – 6)= 0
⇒ (y – 3)(y – 6) = 0
⇒ y – 3 = 0 and y – 6 = 0
⇒ y = 3 and y = 6
For y = 3
Hence, x = 6, y = 3 are the remaining two observations
For y = 6
Hence, x = 3, y = 6 are the remaining two observations
Thus, remaining two observations are 3 and 6.
The mean and variance of five observations are 4.4 and 8.24 respectively. If three of these are 1, 2 and 6, find the other two observations.
Given: Mean of 5 observations = 4.4
and Variance of 5 observations = 8.24
Let the other two observations be x and y
∴, our observations are 1, 2, 6, x and y
Now, we know that,
⇒ 5 × 4.4 = 9 + x + y
⇒ 22 – 9= x + y
⇒ 13 = x + y
or x + y = 13 …(i)
Also,
Variance = 8.24
So,
⇒ 41.2 = 19.88 + (x2 + 19.36 – 8.8x) + (y2 + 19.36 – 8.8y)
⇒ 41.2 – 19.88 = x2 + 19.36 – 8.8x + y2 + 19.36 – 8.8y
⇒ 21.32 = x2 + y2 + 38.72 – 8.8(x + y)
⇒ x2 + y2 + 38.72 – 8.8(13) – 21.32 = 0 [from (i)]
⇒ x2 + y2 + 17.4 – 114.4 = 0
⇒ x2 + y2 – 97 = 0
⇒ x2 + y2 = 97 …(ii)
From eq. (i)
x + y = 17.4
Squaring both the sides, we get
(x + y)2 = (13)2
⇒ x2 + y2 + 2xy = 169
⇒ 97 + 2xy = 169 [from (ii)]
⇒ 2xy = 169 – 97
⇒ 2xy = 72
⇒ xy = 36
…(iii)
Putting the value of x in eq. (i), we get
x + y = 13
⇒ y2 + 36 = 13y
⇒ y2 – 13y + 36 = 0
⇒ y2 – 4y – 9y + 36 = 0
⇒ y(y – 4) – 9(y – 4)= 0
⇒ (y – 4)(y – 9) = 0
⇒ y – 4 = 0 and y – 9 = 0
⇒ y = 4 and y = 9
For y = 4
Hence, x = 9, y = 4 are the remaining two observations
For y = 9
Hence, x = 4, y = 9 are the remaining two observations
Thus, remaining two observations are 4 and 9.
The mean and standard deviation of 18 observations are found to be 7 and 4 respectively. On rechecking it was found that an observation 12 was misread as 21. Calculate the correct mean and standard deviation.
Given that number of observations (n) = 18
Incorrect Mean (x̅ ) = 7
and Incorrect Standard deviation, (σ) = 4
We know that,
…(i)
∴ Incorrect sum of observations = 126
Finding correct sum of observations, 12 was misread as 21
So, Correct sum of observations = Incorrect Sum – 21 + 12
= 126 – 21 + 12
= 117
Hence,
= 6.5
Now, Incorrect Standard Deviation (σ)
Squaring both the sides, we get
Since, 12 was misread as 21
So,
= 1170 – 441 + 144
= 873
Now,
Correct Standard Deviation
= 2.5
Hence, Correct Mean = 6.5
and Correct Standard Deviation = 2.5
For a group of 200 candidates, the mean and standard deviations of scores were found to be 40 and 15 respectively. Later on it was discovered that the score of 43 was misread as 34. Find the correct mean and standard deviation.
Given that number of observations (n) = 200
Incorrect Mean (x̅ ) = 40
and Incorrect Standard deviation, (σ) = 15
We know that,
…(i)
∴ Incorrect sum of observations = 8000
Finding correct sum of observations, 43 was misread as 34
So, Correct sum of observations = Incorrect Sum – 34 + 43
= 8000 – 34 + 43
= 8009
Hence,
= 40.045
Now, Incorrect Standard Deviation (σ)
Squaring both the sides, we get
Since, 43 was misread as 34
So,
= 365000 – 1156 + 1849
= 125000 + 693
= 365693
Now,
Correct Standard Deviation
= 14.995
Hence, Correct Mean = 40.045
and Correct Standard Deviation = 14.995
The mean and standard deviations of a group of 100 observations were found to be 20 and 3 respectively. Later on it was found that three observations 21, 12 and 18 were incorrect. Find the mean and standard deviation if the incorrect observations were omitted.
Given that number of observations (n) = 100
Incorrect Mean (x̅ ) = 20
and Incorrect Standard deviation, (σ) = 3
We know that,
…(i)
∴ Incorrect sum of observations = 2000
Finding correct sum of observations, incorrect observations 21, 12 and 18 are removed
So, Correct sum of observations = Incorrect Sum – 21 – 12 – 18
= 2000 – 51
= 1949
Hence,
= 20.09
Now, Incorrect Standard Deviation (σ)
Squaring both the sides, we get
Since, 21, 12 and 18 are removed
So,
= 40900 – 441 – 144 – 324
= 40900 – 909
= 39991
Now,
Correct Standard Deviation
= 2.94
Hence, Correct Mean = 20.09
and Correct Standard Deviation = 2.94
The following results show the number of workers and the wages paid to them in two factories F1 and F2.
Which factory has more variation in wages?
Mean wages of both the factories are the same, i.e., Rs. 5300.
To compare variation, we need to find out the coefficient of variation (CV).
We know, CV = , where SD is the standard deviation.
The variance of factory A is 100 and the variance of factory B is 81.
Now, SD of factory A =

Therefore,
The CV of factory A =
The CV of factory B =
Here, the CV of factory A is greater than the CV of factory B.
Hence, factory A has more variation.

The mean and variance of the heights and weights of the students of a class are given below:

So, the coefficient of variation,
⇒
In case of weights,
Mean = 63.2 inches and SD = 5.6 inches.
So, the coefficient of variation,
⇒
CV of heights > CV of weights
So, heights show more variability.
The following results show the number of workers and the wages paid to them in two factories A and B of the same industry.
(i) Which firm pays a larger amount as monthly wages?
(ii) Which firm shows greater variability in individual wages?
(i) Both the factories pay the same mean monthly wages.
For factory A there are 560 workers. And for factory B there are 650 workers.
So, factory A totally pays as monthly wage = (5460 x 560) Rs.
= 3057600 Rs.
Factory B totally pays as monthly wage = (5460 x 650) Rs.
= 3549000 Rs.
That means, factory B pays a larger amount as monthly wages.
(ii) Mean wages of both the factories are the same, i.e., Rs. 5460.
To compare variation, we need to find out the coefficient of variation (CV).
We know, CV = , where SD is the standard deviation.
The variance of factory A is 100 and the variance of factory B is 121.
Now, SD of factory A =
And, SD of factory B =
Therefore,
The CV of factory A =
The CV of factory B =
Here,the CV of factory B is greater than the CV of factory A.
Hence, factory B shows greater variability.
The sum and the sum of squares of length x (in cm) and weight y (in g) of 50 plant products are given below:

So, standard deviation, SD =
Therefore, the coefficient of variation of length,
CVW =
Now, CVW > CVL
Therefore, the weight is more variable than height.
