Exercise 30c
Question 1.

If the standard deviation of the numbers 2, 3, 2x, 11 is 3.5, calculate the possible values of x.


Answer:

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





Question 2.

Answer:

Let the observations are x1, x2, x3, x4, …, x15

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



Question 3.

Answer:

Let the observations are x1, x2, x3, x4, …, x20

and Let mean =


Given: Variance = 5 and n = 20


We know that,



Putting the given values, we get





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








So,




= 20



Question 4.

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.


Answer:

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.



Question 5.

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.


Answer:

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.



Question 6.

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.


Answer:

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



Question 7.

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.


Answer:

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



Question 8.

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.


Answer:

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




Exercise 30d
Question 1.

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?


Answer:

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 =


And, SD of factory B =


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.



Question 2.

Coefficient of variation of the two distributions are 60% and 80% respectively, and their standard deviations are 21 and 16 respectively. Find their arithmetic means.


Answer:

Given: Coefficient of variation of two distributions are 60% and 80% respectively, and their standard deviations are 21 and 16 respectively.


Need to find: Arithmetic means of the distributions.


For the first distribution,


Coefficient of variation (CV) is 60%, and the standard deviation (SD) is 21.


We know that,






For the first distribution,


Coefficient of variation (CV) is 80%, and the standard deviation (SD) is 16.


We know that,






Therefore, the arithmetic mean of 1st distribution is 35 and the arithmetic mean of 2nd distribution is 20.



Question 3.

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


Which shows more variability, heights or weights?


Answer:

In case of heights,


Mean = 63.2 inches and SD = 11.5 inches.


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.



Question 4.

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?


Answer:

(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.



Question 5.

The sum and the sum of squares of length x (in cm) and weight y (in g) of 50 plant products are given below:



Which is more variable, the length or weight?


Answer:

To find the more variable, we again need to compare the coefficients of variation (CV).


Here the number of products are n = 50 for length and weight both.


For length,


Mean =


Variance =


=


=


=


So, standard deviation, SD =


Therefore, the coefficient of variation of length,


CVL =


For weight,


Mean =


Variance =


=


=


=


So, standard deviation, SD =


Therefore, the coefficient of variation of length,


CVW =


Now, CVW > CVL


Therefore, the weight is more variable than height.
