    where,  A = (assumed mean) = 52

    $$\text{For share X,}\space\text{Mean}\space\bar X= A + \frac{\Sigma d_1}{n}\\=52-\frac{10}{10}$$

    $$\text{Standard deviation}\space\sigma\\=\sqrt{\frac{\Sigma d_1^2}{n}-\bigg(\frac{\Sigma d_1}{n}\bigg)^2}\\=\sqrt{\frac{360}{10}-\bigg(\frac{-10}{10}\bigg)^2}\\=\sqrt{36-1}\\=\sqrt{35}$$

    = 5.92

    $$\text{Coefficient of variance for share X =}\frac{\sigma}{X}×100\\\frac{5.92}{51}×100\\=\frac{592}{51}=11.60$$

    3. An anlaysis of monthly wages paid to workers in two Firms A and B belonging to the same industry.

    Gives the following results:

    Firm A Firm B
    Number of wages earners 586 648
    Mean of monthly wages ₹ 5253 ₹ 5253
    Variance of distribution of wages 100 121

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

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

    Sol. For firm A,

    Number of wages earners = 586

    $$\text{Mean of monthly wages =}\bar x=₹5253$$

    Variance of distribution of wages = 100

    $$\text{Standard deviation}\space\sigma=\sqrt{100}=10$$

    Amount paid by firm A = 586 × 5253 = ₹3078258 …(i)

    $$\text{Coefficient of variation}=\frac{\sigma}{x}×100\\=\frac{10}{5253}×100\\=\frac{1000}{5253}=0.19\space\text{...(ii)}$$

    For firm B,

    Number of wages earners = 648

    Mean of monthly wages = ₹5253

    Variance of distribution of wages = 121

    $$\text{Standard deviation}\sigma=\sqrt{\text{Variance}}\\=\sqrt{121}=11$$

    Amount paid by firm B = 648 × ₹3403944    …(iii)

    $$\text{Coefficient of vairation = }\frac{\sigma}{x}×100\\=\frac{11}{5253}×100\\=\frac{1100}{5253}=0.21\qquad\text{...(iv)}$$

    From equation (i) and (ii),

    Monthly wages paid by firm A = ₹3078258

    and from firm B = ₹3403944

    Thus, firm B pays out larger amount as monthly wages

    From equation (ii) and (iv),

    ∵ CV of firm B > CV of firm A as 0.21 > 0.19

    ∴ Firm B shows greater variability in individual wages.

    4. The following is the record of goals scored by team A in a football session:

    Number of goal scored 0 1 2 3 4
    Number of matches 1 9 7 5 3

    For the team B, mean number of goals scored per match was 2 with a standard deviation 1.25 goals. Find which team may be considered more consistent?

    Sol.

    Number of goals scored Number of matches fixi xi2 fixi2

    Total Σfi=25 Σfixi=50 Σfixi2=130

    $$\text{Mean}\space\bar x=\frac{\Sigma f_ix_i}{\Sigma f_i}=\frac{50}{25}=2\\\text{Standard deviation}\space\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{\Sigma f_ix_i^2}{\Sigma f_i}-\bigg(\frac{\Sigma f_ix_i}{\Sigma f_i}\bigg)^2}\\=\sqrt{\frac{130}{25}-\bigg(\frac{50}{25}\bigg)^2}\\=\sqrt{\frac{130}{25}-4}\\=\sqrt{\frac{130-100}{25}}=\sqrt{\frac{30}{25}}\\=\frac{1}{5}\sqrt{30}=\frac{5.48}{5}=1.096$$

    $$\text{CV for team A = }\frac{\sigma}{x}×100\\=\frac{1.096}{2}×100\\=\frac{109.6}{2}=54.8$$

    For team B,

    Given, x = 2 and s = 1.25

    $$\text{Given\space}\bar x=2\space\text{and}\space\sigma=1.25\\\therefore\space\text{CV for team B =}\frac{\sigma}{x}×100\\=\frac{1.25}{2}×100\\=\frac{125}{2}=62.5$$

    ∵ CV of team A < CV of team B as 54.8 < 62.5

    Hence, team A is more consistent.

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

    Which is more varying, the length or weight?

    Sol. For length,

    $$\text{Mean}\space \bar x=\frac{\Sigma x_i}{n}\space\\=\frac{212}{50}=4.24\\\text{Standard deviation} (\sigma) =\\\sqrt{\frac{\Sigma x_i^2}{n}-\bigg(\frac{\Sigma x_i}{n}\bigg)^2}\\=\sqrt{\frac{902.8}{50}-\bigg(\frac{212}{50}\bigg)^2}\\=\sqrt{\frac{902.8×50-(212)^2}{50×50}}\\=\frac{1}{50}\sqrt{45140-44944}$$

    $$=\frac{1}{50}\sqrt{196}=\frac{14}{50}=\frac{14}{50}=0.28\\\therefore\space\text{Coefficient of variation for length }\\=\frac{\sigma}{x}×100=\frac{0.28}{4.24}=6.604\\\text{For weight,}\\\text{Mean}\space\bar y=\frac{\Sigma y_i}{n}=\frac{261}{50}=5.22\\\text{Standard deviation}(\sigma)=\sqrt{\frac{\Sigma y_i^2}{n}-\bigg(\frac{\Sigma y_i}{n}\bigg)^2}\\=\sqrt{\frac{1457.6}{50}-\bigg(\frac{261}{50}\bigg)^2}$$

    $$=\frac{1457.6×50-(261)^2}{50×50}\\=\frac{1}{40}\space\sqrt{72880-68121}\\=\frac{1}{50}\sqrt{4759}\\=\frac{1}{50}×68.98=1.37\\\therefore\space\text{CV for weight =}\frac{\sigma}{y}×100\\=\frac{1.37}{5.22}×100\\=\frac{1.37}{5.22}×100=26.24$$

    ∵ CV of weight (26.24) > CV of length (6.6)

    ∴ Weight is more varying than length.

    Miscellaneous Exercise

    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.

    Sol. Let the remaining two observations are x and y.

    Given,

    $$\text{Given,\space} \bar x=9\space\text{and}\space\sigma^2=9.25\\\because\space\bar x = 9\\\Rarr\space\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Number of observation}}=9$$

    ⇒ Sum of all observations = 9 × 8

    ⇒ 6 + 7 + 10 + 12 + 12 + 13 + x + y = 72

    ⇒ 60 + x + y = 72

    ⇒ x + y = 72 – 60 …(i)

    ⇒ x + y = 12

    $$\text{Again,\space}\sigma^2=\frac{\Sigma x_i^2}{n}-\bigg(\frac{\Sigma x_i}{n}\bigg)^2\\\text{or}\space\sigma^2=\frac{\Sigma x_i^2}{n}-(\bar x)^2\\\Rarr \space 9.25=\\\frac{36+49+100+144+144+169+x^2+y^2}{8}\\-(9)^2$$

    $$\Rarr\space9.25=\frac{642+x^2+y^2}{8}-81\\\Rarr\space 9.25+81=\frac{642+x^2+y^2}{8} $$

    ⇒ 74 + 648 = 642 + x2 + y2

    ⇒ 722 = 642 + x2 + y2

    ⇒ 722 – 642 = x2 + y2

    ⇒ x2 + y2 = 80 …(ii)

    Now, put equation (i) put y = 12 – x in equation (ii),

    x2 + (12 – x)2 = 80

    ⇒ x2 + 144 + x2 – 24x = 80

    ⇒ 2x2 – 24x + 144 – 80 = 0

    2x2 – 24x + 64 = 0

    ⇒ x2 – 12x + 31 = 0

    ⇒ x2 – 8x – 4x + 32 = 0

    ⇒ x(x – 8) – 4(x – 8) = 0

    ⇒ (x – 4) (x – 8) = 0

    ⇒ x – 4 = 0 or x = 4

    x – 8 = 0, x = 4

    Put x = 4 and 8 in equation (i)

    Then y = 8 and 4

    Hence, observations are 4 and 8.

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

    Sol. Let the remaining two observations are x and y.

    $$\text{Given\space} \bar x=8\space\text{and}\space\sigma^2=8\\\bar x=8$$

    $$\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Number of observations}}=8\\\Rarr\space\frac{2+4+10+12+14+x+y}{7}=8$$

    ⇒ 42 + x + y = 56

    ⇒ x + y = 14 …(i)

    $$\text{Again}\space \sigma^2=\frac{x_i^2}{n}-\bigg(\frac{\Sigma x_i}{n}\bigg)^2\\\Rarr\space \sigma^2=\frac{\Sigma x_i^2}{n}-(\bar{x})^2\\\Rarr\\\space 16=\frac{4+16+100+144+196+x^2+y^2}{n}-(8)^2\\\Rarr\space 16+64=\frac{460+x^2+y^2}{7}$$

    ⇒ 7 × (80) = 460 + x2 + y2

    ⇒ x2 + y2 = 560 – 460

    ⇒ x2 + y2 = 100 …(ii)

    Now, from equation (i), putting y = 14 – x in equation (ii),

    x2 + (14 – x2) = 100

    ⇒ x2 + 196 + x2 – 28x = 100

    ⇒ 2x2 – 28x + 196 – 100 = 0

    ⇒ 2x2 – 28x + 96 = 0

    ⇒ x2 – 14x + 48 = 0

    ⇒ x2 – 8x – 6x + 48 = 0

    ⇒ a(x – 8) – 6(x – 8) = 0

    ⇒ (x – 8) (x – 6) = 0

    x – 8 = 0, x = 8

    x – 6 = 0, x = 6

    Put the value x cm in equation (i)

    y = 6 and y = 8

    Hence, the observations are 8 and 6.

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

    Sol. Given,

    $$\bar x=8\space\text{and}\space \sigma^2=4\space\text{and n=6}\\\text{Let the observation are}\\\space\bar x_1,\bar x_2,\bar x_3,\bar x_4,\bar x_5,\bar x_6\\\text{Then,}\\\text{Mean}\space\bar x=8\space\text{(Given)}\\\text{i.e.,}\space\text{Mean}=\frac{\bar x_1+\bar x_2+\bar x_3+\bar x_4+\bar x_5+\bar x_6}{6}=8$$

    $$\Rarr\space \bar x_1,\bar x_2,\bar x_3,\bar x_4,\bar x_5,\bar x_6=48$$

    Now, if and each observation is multiplied by 3, then mean is

    $$3\bar x_1+3\bar x_2+3\bar x_3+3\bar x_4+3\bar x_5+\bar x_6\\=48×3$$

    ⇒ Σxi = 144

    $$\text{Now,}\space\text{new mean}\space\bar x=\frac{144}{6}=24$$

    Since, Variance = 42 (Given)

    $$\text{i.e}\space\frac{\Sigma x_i^2}{n}-\bigg(\frac{\Sigma x_i}{n}\bigg)^2=4^2\\\Rarr\space\frac{\Sigma x_i^2}{6}-(8)^2=4^2\\\Rarr\space\frac{\Sigma x^2}{6}=16+64$$

    ⇒ Σx2 = 80 × 6

    ⇒ Σx2 = 480 …(i)

    $$\text{Now,}\qquad\text{New}\\\space\Sigma x^2=(3\bar x_1)^2+(3 \bar x_2)^2+(3 \bar x_3)^2+(3\bar x_4)^2+\\(3\bar x_5)^2+(3\bar x_6)$$

    $$= 9(\bar x_1^2+\bar x_2^2+\bar x_3^2+\bar x_4^2+\bar x_5^2+\bar x_6^2)$$

    = 9 × 480   [From equation (i)]

    New Σx2 = 4320

    $$\therefore\space\text{New variance =}\space\frac{\text{(New)}\Sigma x^2}{n}-(\text{New mean})^2\\=\frac{4320}{6}-(24)^2$$

    = 720 – 576 = 144

    $$\therefore\space\text{New standard deviation }\\= \sqrt{\text{New variance}}\\\sqrt{144}$$

    = 12.

    $$\bigg[\because\space \sigma^2=\frac{\Sigma(x_i-\bar x)^2}{n}\bigg]$$

    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:

    (i) If wrong item is omitted.

    (ii) If it is replaced by 12.

    Sol. (i) If wrong item is omitted.

    $$\text{Given,}\space \bar x=10\space\text{and}\space\sigma=2,n=20\\\Rarr\space\frac{\Sigma x_i}{20}=10$$

    ⇒ Σxi = 20 × 10

    ⇒ Σxi = 200

    If observation 8 is omitted, then

    $$\Sigma x_i=200-8-192$$

    Now, remaining number of observation = 19

    $$\Rarr\space\text{Correct mean =}\frac{\Sigma x_i}{n}=\frac{192}{19}=10.10$$

    Again, σ = 2

    ⇒ σ2 = 4

    $$\Rarr\space\frac{\Sigma x_i^2}{n}-(\bar x)^2=4\\\Rarr\space \frac{\Sigma x_i^2}{20}-(10)^2=4$$

    ⇒  Σxi2 = (4 + 100) × 20 = 104 × 20 = 2080

    If observation 8 is omitted, then

    Σxi2 = 2080 – 64 = 2016

    $$\text{Now, correct standard deviation}\space\sigma=\\\sqrt{\frac{2016}{19}-\bigg(\frac{192}{19}\bigg)^2}\\=\sqrt{\frac{2016×19-(192)^2}{19×19}}\\=\frac{1}{19}\sqrt{38304-36864}\\=\frac{1}{19}\sqrt{1440}=\frac{3795}{19}=1.99$$

    (ii) If it is placed by 12.

    $$\bar x=10,\sigma=2, n=20\\\Rarr\space\frac{\Sigma x}{20}=10\\\Rarr\space\Sigma x=200 $$

    If observation 8 is replaced by 12, then

    Σx = 200 – 8 + 12 = 192 + 12 = 204

    $$\text{Correct mean =}\frac{204}{20}\\=\frac{102}{10}=10.2$$

    Again, σ = 2

    ⇒ σ2 = 4

    $$\Rarr\space\frac{\Sigma x^2}{n}-(\bar x)^2=4\\\Rarr\space \frac{\Sigma x^2}{20}-(10)^2=4$$

    Σx2 = 2080

    If observation 8 is replaced by 12, then

    Σx2 = 2080 – (8)2 + (12)2

    = 2080 – 64 + 144

    = 2224 –64

    = 2160

    $$\text{Now, correct standard deviation}\space\sigma=\\\sqrt{\frac{\Sigma x^2}{n}-(\bar x)^2}\\=\sqrt{\frac{2160}{20}-\bigg(\frac{204}{20}\bigg)^2}\\=\sqrt{\frac{2160×20-(204)^2}{20×20}}\\=\frac{1}{20}\sqrt{43200-41616}\\=\frac{1}{20}\sqrt{1584}=\frac{39.79}{20}=1.98$$

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

    Subject Mathematics Physics Chemistry
    Mean Standard Deviation 42 32 40.9
    12 15 20

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

    Sol. Here, n = 50

    For mathematics,

    $$\text{Coefficient of variation (CV) =}\frac{\sigma}{x}×100\\=\frac{12}{42}×100=\frac{1200}{42}=\frac{200}{7}\\\text{=28.57}\\\text{For Physics,}\space\text{CV}=\frac{\sigma}{x}×100\\=\frac{15}{32}×100\\=\frac{1500}{32}=46.87\space\text{...(ii)}$$

    For Chemistry, CV =

    $$\text{For Chemistry, CV = }\frac{\sigma}{x}×100\\=\frac{20}{40.9}×100=\frac{2000}{40.9}$$

    = 48.89
    …(iii)
    From equations (i), (ii) and (iii), w e have

    ∵ CV of Chemistry > CV of Physcis > CV of Mathematics

    ∴ Chemistry shows the highest variability and Mathematics shows the lowest variability.

    7. The mean and standard deviatoin 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 observation and omitted.

    $$\textbf{Sol.}\space\text{Given}\space n=100,\bar x=20,\sigma=3\\\because\space\bar x=3\\\Rarr\space\frac{\Sigma x}{100}=20$$

    ⇒ Σxi = 100 × 20

    ⇒ Σx = 2000

    Now, incorrect observations 21, 21 and 18 are omitted, then correct sum is

    Σxi = 2000 – 21 – 21 – 18 = 2000 – 60

    = 1940

    Now, correct mean of remaining 97 observations is

    $$\bar x=\frac{1940}{97}=20$$

    Again , σ = 3

    $$\Rarr\space\sqrt{\frac{\Sigma x_i^2}{n}-(\bar x)^2}=3\\\Rarr\space \frac{\Sigma x_i^2}{100}-(20)^2=9\\\Rarr\space\frac{\Sigma x^2}{100}=9+400$$

    = 409 × 100 = 40900

    Now, correct Σx2 is Σx2 = 40900 – (21)2 – (21)2 – (18)2

    = 40900 – 441 – 441 – 324

    = 40900 – 1206 = 39694

    Now, correct SD for remaining 97 observations is

    $$\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{39694}{97}-\bigg(\frac{1940}{97}\bigg)^2}\\\sqrt{409.2-(20)^2}\\=\sqrt{409.2-400}\\\sqrt{9.2}=3.03$$
