Statistics – Exercise 6.1 – Solution

Solve the following using step deviation of the following data.

1. Calculate the standard deviation of the following data.

x	3	8	13	18	23
f	7	10	15	10	8

Solution:

Let the assumed mean, A = 13

The common factor of the scores, C = 5

x	f	Step deviation d = x-A/C	fd	d2	fd2
3	7	-2	-14	4	28
8	10	-1	-10	1	10
13	15	0	0	0	0
18	10	1	10	1	10
23	8	2	16	4	32
	n = 50		⅀fd = 2		⅀fd2 = 80

Therefore standard deviation is 6.32

2. The number of books bought by 200 students in a book exhibition is given below.

No. of books	0	1	2	3	4
No. of students	35	64	68	18	15

Find the variance and standard variation.

Solution:

Let the assumed mean, A = 2

The common factor of the scores, C = 1

No. of books	No. of students	Standard deviation, d= x-A/C	fd	d2	fd2
0	35	-2	-70	4	140
1	64	-1	-64	1	64
2	68	0	0	0	0
3	18	1	18	1	18
4	15	2	30	4	60
	⅀f = 200		⅀fd = -86	⅀d2 = 10	⅀fd2 = 282

Therefore, standard deviation is 1.107 and variance is 1.23

3. The marks scored by 60 students in a science test are gven below.

Marks(x)	10	20	30	40	50	60
No. of students	8	12	20	10	7	3

Calculate the variance and standard deviation.

Solution:

Let assumed mean , A = 40

C = 10

Marks(x)	No. of students	d	fd	d2	fd2
10	8	-3	-24	9	72
20	12	-2	-24	4	48
30	20	-1	-20	1	20
40	10	0	0	0	0
50	7	1	7	1	7
60	3	2	6	4	12
	n = 60	⅀d = -3	⅀fd = -55		⅀fd2 = 159

Therefore, standard deviation is 13.4 and variance is 179.23

4. The daily wages of Rs. 40 workers of a factory are given in the following table.

Wages in Rs.	30 – 34	34 – 38	38 – 42	42 – 46	46 – 50	50 – 54
No. of workers	4	7	9	11	6	3

Calculate (i) Mean (ii) variance and (iii) standard deviation of wages and interpret the findings

Solution:

Assumed  mean, A = 40

C = 34 – 30 = 4

Wages in Rs.	No. of workers(f)	x	fx	d = x-A/C	fd	d2	fd2
30 – 34	4	32	128	-2	-8	4	16
34 – 38	7	36	252	-1	-7	1	7
38 – 42	9	40	360	0	0	0	0
42 – 46	11	44	484	1	11	1	11
46 – 50	6	48	288	2	12	4	24
50 – 54	3	52	156	3	9	9	27
	n = 40		⅀fx = 1668		⅀fd  =  17		⅀fd2 = 85

This means each score deviates from the mean value 41.7 by 5.58

---

5. Mean of 100 items is 48 and their standard deviation is 10. Find the sum of all the items and the sum of squares of all the items.

Solution:

The number of items  = n = 100

Mean of 100 items = 48

Standard deviation, = 10

Sum of scores ,

Standard deviation of 100 items, = 10

Therefore, sum of all the items is 4800 and the sum of squares of all the items is 2,40,400

6. In study of diabetic patients in a village, the following observations were noted.

Age in years	10 – 20	20 – 30	30 – 40	40 – 50	50 – 60	60 – 70
No. of patients	2	5	12	19	9	3

Calculate the mean and standard deviation. Also interpret the results.

Solution:

Assumed mean A = 35

C = 10

Age in years	No. of patients	x	fx	d = x-A/C	d2	fd	fd2
10 – 20	2	15	30	-2	4	-4	8
20 – 30	5	25	50	-1	1	-5	5
30 – 40	12	35	420	0	0	0	0
40 – 50	19	45	855	1	1	19	19
50 – 60	9	55	495	2	4	18	36
60 – 70	3	65	195	3	9	9	27
	n = 50		⅀fx = 2045			⅀fd = 37	⅀fd2 = 95

 

This means each score deviates from the mean value 41.7 by 11.62
