Exercise 13.1

1. Find the mean deviation about the mean for the data \[{\text{4,}}\,{\text{7,}}\,{\text{8,}}\,{\text{9,}}\,{\text{10,}}\,{\text{12,}}\,{\text{13,}}\,{\text{17}}\].

Ans: Consider the given data, which is, \[4,\,7,\,8,\,9,\,10,\,12,\,13,\,17\].

Therefore, the mean of the data is,

$\overline x  = \dfrac{{4 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 + 12 + 13 + 17}}{8} = \dfrac{{80}}{8} = 10$ 

Observe that the deviations of the respective observations from the mean $\left( {\overline x } \right)$, that is, ${x_i} - \overline x $ can be calculated as, $ - 6,\, - 3, - 2,\, - 1,\,0,\,2,\,3,\,7$ and therefore, the absolute value of the deviations calculated by $\left| {{x_i} - \overline x } \right|$ are $6,\,3,2,\,1,\,0,\,2,\,3,\,7$.

Now, the mean deviation about the mean is,

\[\therefore M.D.\left( {\overline x } \right) = \dfrac{{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^8 {\left| {{x_i} - \overline x } \right|} }}{8} = \dfrac{{6 + 3 + 2 + 1 + 0 + 2 + 3 + 7}}{8} = \dfrac{{24}}{8} = 3\] 

2. Find the mean deviation about the mean for the data \[{\text{38,}}\,{\text{70,}}\,{\text{48,40,}}\,{\text{42,}}\,{\text{55,}}\,{\text{63,}}\,{\text{46,}}\,{\text{54,}}\,{\text{44}}\].

Ans: Consider the given data, which is, \[38,\,70,\,48,40,\,42,\,55,\,63,\,46,\,54,\,44\].

Therefore, the mean of the data is,

$\overline x  = \dfrac{{38\, + 70 + \,48 + 40 + \,42 + \,55 + \,63 + \,46 + \,54 + \,44}}{{10}} = \dfrac{{500}}{{10}} = 50$

Now, the mean deviation about the mean is,

\[\therefore M.D.\left( {\overline x } \right) = \dfrac{{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{10} {\left| {{x_i} - \overline x } \right|} }}{{10}} = \dfrac{{12 + \,20 + 2 + \,10 + \,8 + \,5 + \,13 + \,4 + \,4 + \,6}}{{10}} = \dfrac{{84}}{{10}} = 8.4\] 

3. Find the mean deviation about the median for the data \[{\text{13,1}}\,{\text{7,}}\,{\text{16,14,}}\,{\text{11,}}\,{\text{13,}}\,{\text{10,}}\,{\text{16,}}\,{\text{11,}}\,{\text{18,}}\,{\text{12,}}\,{\text{17}}\].

Observe that the number of observations in this case is $12$, that is, even and on arranging the data in ascending order it can be obtained as, \[10,1\,1,\,11,12,\,13,\,13,\,14,\,16,\,16,\,17,\,17,\,18\]  Therefore, the median of the data is the average of the ${6^{th}}$ and the ${7^{th}}$ observations,

$\therefore M = \dfrac{{13 + 14}}{2} = \dfrac{{27}}{2} = 13.5$ 

Observe that the deviations of the respective observations from the median $\left( M \right)$, that is, ${x_i} - M$ can be calculated as, $ - 3.5,\, - 2.5, - 2.5,\, - 1.5,\, - 0.5,\, - 0.5,\,0.5,\,2.5,\,2.5,\,3.5,3.5,4.5$ and therefore, the absolute value of the deviations calculated by $\left| {{x_i} - M} \right|$ are $3.5,\,2.5,2.5,\,1.5,\,0.5,\,0.5,\,0.5,\,2.5,\,2.5,\,3.5,3.5,4.5$.

Now, the mean deviation about the median is,

\[\therefore M.D.\left( M \right) = \dfrac{{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{12} {\left| {{x_i} - M} \right|} }}{{12}} = \dfrac{{3.5 + \,2.5 + 2.5 + \,1.5 + \,0.5 + \,0.5 + \,0.5 + \,2.5 + \,2.5 + \,3.5 + 3.5 + 4.5}}{{12}}\]\[ \Rightarrow M.D.\left( M \right) = \dfrac{{28}}{{12}} = 2.33\]

Ans: Consider the given data, which is, \[36,72,\,46,42,\,60,\,45,\,53,\,46,\,51,\,49\].

Observe that the number of observations in this case is $10$, that is, even and on arranging the data in ascending order it can be obtained as, \[36,42,\,45,46,\,46,\,49,\,51,\,53,\,60,\,72\]  Therefore, the median of the data is the average of the ${5^{th}}$ and the ${6^{th}}$ observations,

$\therefore M = \dfrac{{46 + 49}}{2} = \dfrac{{95}}{2} = 47.5$ 

Observe that the deviations of the respective observations from the median $\left( M \right)$, that is, ${x_i} - M$ can be calculated as, $ - 11.5,\, - 5.5, - 2.5,\, - 1.5,\, - 1.5,\,1.5,\,3.5,\,5.5,\,12.5,\,24.5$ and therefore, the absolute value of the deviations calculated by $\left| {{x_i} - M} \right|$ are $11.5,\,5.5,2.5,\,1.5,\,1.5,\,1.5,\,3.5,\,5.5,\,12.5,\,24.5$.

Now, the mean deviation about the median is,

\[\therefore M.D.\left( M \right) = \dfrac{{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{10} {\left| {{x_i} - M} \right|} }}{{10}} = \dfrac{{11.5 + \,5.5 + 2.5 + \,1.5 + \,1.5 + \,1.5 + \,3.5 + \,5.5 + \,12.5 + \,24.5}}{{10}}\]\[ \Rightarrow M.D.\left( M \right) = \dfrac{{70}}{{10}} = 7\] 

5. Find the mean deviation about the mean for the data.

Ans: Consider the given data and observe the table as shown below, which is,

The mean of the data can be calculated as shown below,

\[\therefore \overline x  = \dfrac{1}{N}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^5 {{f_i}{x_i}}  = \dfrac{1}{{25}} \times 350 = 14\] 

Therefore, the mean deviation about the mean is,

\[M.D.\left( {\overline x } \right) = \dfrac{{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^5 {{f_i}\left| {{x_i} - \overline x } \right|} }}{N} = \dfrac{{158}}{{25}} = 6.32\]

\[\therefore \overline x  = \dfrac{1}{N}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^5 {{f_i}{x_i}}  = \dfrac{1}{{80}} \times 4000 = 50\] 

Therefore, the mean deviation about the mean is,

\[M.D.\left( {\overline x } \right) = \dfrac{{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^5 {{f_i}\left| {{x_i} - \overline x } \right|} }}{N} = \dfrac{{1280}}{{80}} = 16\]

7. Find the mean deviation about the median for the data.

Ans: It can be clearly observed that the given observations are already in ascending order and hence on adding a column corresponding to the cumulative frequencies of the given data, the following table can be obtained as shown below,

Observe that the number of observations in this case is $26$, that is, even and therefore, the median is the mean of the ${13^{th}}$ and the ${14^{th}}$ observations. Observe that both of these observations lie in the cumulative frequency $14$, for which the corresponding observation is obtained as $7$,

$\therefore M = \dfrac{{7 + 7}}{2} = \dfrac{{14}}{2} = 7$ 

Now, the absolute values of the deviations from the median can be calculated using $\left| {{x_i} - M} \right|$ and therefore observe the table as shown below,  

Therefore, the mean deviation about the mean is,

\[M.D.\left( M \right) = \dfrac{{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^6 {{f_i}\left| {{x_i} - M} \right|} }}{N} = \dfrac{{16 + 4 + 6 + 10 + 48}}{{26}} = \dfrac{{84}}{{26}} = 3.23\]

8. Find the mean deviation about the median for the data.

Ans: It can be clearly observed that the given observations are already in ascending order and hence on adding a column corresponding to the cumulative frequencies of the given data, the following table can be obtained as shown below,

Observe that the number of observations, in this case, is $29$, which is, odd and therefore, the median is the ${15^{th}}$ observation. Observe that this observation lie in the cumulative frequency $21$, for which the corresponding observation is obtained as $30$,

$\therefore M = 30$ 

Now, the absolute values of the deviations from the median can be calculated using $\left| {{x_i} - M} \right|$ and therefore observe the table as shown below,  

Therefore, the mean deviation about the median is,

\[M.D.\left( M \right) = \dfrac{{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^5 {{f_i}\left| {{x_i} - M} \right|} }}{N} = \dfrac{{45 + 45 + 18 + 0 + 40}}{{29}} = \dfrac{{148}}{{29}} = 5.1\]

9. Find the mean deviation about the mean for the data.

\[\therefore \overline x  = \dfrac{1}{N}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^8 {{f_i}{x_i}}  = \dfrac{1}{{50}} \times 17900 = 358\] 

Therefore, the mean deviation about the mean is,

\[M.D.\left( {\overline x } \right) = \dfrac{{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^8 {{f_i}\left| {{x_i} - \overline x } \right|} }}{N} = \dfrac{{7896}}{{50}} = 157.92\]

10. Find the mean deviation about the mean for the data.

Ans: Consider the given data and observe the table as shown below, which is,

The mean of the data can be calculated as shown below,

\[\therefore \overline x  = \dfrac{1}{N}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^6 {{f_i}{x_i}}  = \dfrac{1}{{100}} \times 12530 = 125.3\]

Therefore, the mean deviation about the mean is,

\[M.D.\left( {\overline x } \right) = \dfrac{{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^6 {{f_i}\left| {{x_i} - \overline x } \right|} }}{N} = \dfrac{{1128.8}}{{100}} = 11.28\]

11. Find the mean deviation about median for the following data:

Ans: Consider the given data and observe the table as shown below, which is,

The class interval containing $\frac{{{N^{th}}}}{2}$ or ${25^{th}}$ item is $20 - 30$

$\therefore $$20 - 30$ is the median class

Median = $l + \left( {\frac{{\left( {\left( {\frac{N}{2}} \right) - c} \right)}}{f}} \right) \times h$  …….(1)

Where $l = 20,\,\,c = 14,\,\,f = 14,\,\,h = 10,\,\,n = 50$

Substitute the above values in (1), we get

Median = $20 + \left( {\left( {\left( {\frac{{25 - 14}}{{14}}} \right)} \right)} \right) \times 10$

$\begin{gathered} = 20 + \left( {\left( {\frac{{11}}{{14}}} \right)} \right) \times 10 \hfill \\ \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $ $\begin{gathered} = 20 + \left( {\frac{{110}}{{14}}} \right) \hfill \\ \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $

\[ = 20 + 7.85\]

$ = 27.85$

So, \[\sum\limits_{i = 1}^6 {{f_i}\left| {{x_i} - \bar x} \right|} \, = \,517.1\]

Therefore, the mean deviation about the median is,

M.D = \[\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{N}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^6 {{f_i}\left| {{x_i} - \bar x} \right|}  \hfill \\ \, \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]

$ = \,\frac{1}{{50}} \times 517.1$

$ = \,10.34$

12. Calculate the mean deviation about the median age for the age distribution of ${\text{100}}$ persons.

Ans: It can be clearly observed that the given data is not continuous and therefore it needs to be converted into a continuous frequency distribution, which can be done by subtracting $0.5$ from the lower limit and adding $0.5$ to the upper limit of each class interval. Now, observe the table as shown below, which is,

Observe that the class interval containing the ${\left( {\dfrac{N}{2}} \right)^{th}}$ item or the ${50^{th}}$ item is $35.5 - 40.5$. Thus, $35.5 - 40.5$ is the median class.

Therefore, median of the data can be calculated as shown below,

\[\therefore M = l + \dfrac{{\dfrac{N}{2} - C}}{f} \times h\]   ( where l = 35.5, C = 37, f = 26, h = 5 and N = 100) 

\[ \Rightarrow M = 35.5 + \dfrac{{50 - 37}}{{26}} \times 5 = 35.5 + \dfrac{{13}}{{26}} \times 5 = 35.5 + 2.5 = 38\]

Therefore, the mean deviation about the median is,

\[M.D.\left( M \right) = \dfrac{{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^8 {{f_i}\left| {{x_i} - M} \right|} }}{N} = \dfrac{{735}}{{100}} = 7.35\]

Exercise 13.2

1. Find the mean and variance for the data \[{\text{6,}}\,{\text{7,}}\,{\text{10,}}\,{\text{12,}}\,{\text{13, 4,}}\,{\text{8,}}\,{\text{12}}\].

 Now, observe the table as shown below, which is,

Therefore, the variance is,

\[Var\left( {{\sigma ^2}} \right) = \dfrac{{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^8 {{{\left( {{x_i} - \overline x } \right)}^2}} }}{n} = \dfrac{{74}}{8} = 9.25\]

2. Find the mean and variance for the first ${\text{n}}$ natural numbers.

Ans: The mean of the first $n$ natural numbers can be calculated as shown below,

\[\therefore \overline x  = \dfrac{{\dfrac{{n\left( {n + 1} \right)}}{2}}}{n} = \dfrac{{n + 1}}{2}\] 

Now, the variance can be calculated as,

\[\therefore Var\left( {{\sigma ^2}} \right) = \dfrac{{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{{\left( {{x_i} - \overline x } \right)}^2}} }}{n}\]

\[ \Rightarrow Var\left( {{\sigma ^2}} \right) = \dfrac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {\left[ {{x_i} - {{\left( {\dfrac{{n + 1}}{2}} \right)}^2}} \right]} \]

\[ \Rightarrow Var\left( {{\sigma ^2}} \right) = \dfrac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{x_i}^2}  - \dfrac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {2\left( {\dfrac{{n + 1}}{n}} \right){x_i}}  + \dfrac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{{\left( {\dfrac{{n + 1}}{2}} \right)}^2}} \]

\[ \Rightarrow Var\left( {{\sigma ^2}} \right) = \dfrac{{\left( {n + 1} \right)(2n + 1)}}{6} - \dfrac{{{{\left( {n + 1} \right)}^2}}}{2} + \dfrac{{{{\left( {n + 1} \right)}^2}}}{4}\]

\[ \Rightarrow Var\left( {{\sigma ^2}} \right) = \left( {n + 1} \right)\left[ {\dfrac{{4n + 2 - 3n - 3}}{{12}}} \right]\]

\[ \Rightarrow Var\left( {{\sigma ^2}} \right) = \dfrac{{{n^2} - 1}}{{12}}\]

 Now, observe the table as shown below, which is,

Therefore, the variance is,

\[Var\left( {{\sigma ^2}} \right) = \dfrac{{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{10} {{{\left( {{x_i} - \overline x } \right)}^2}} }}{n} = \dfrac{{742.5}}{{10}} = 74.25\]

Therefore, the variance is,

\[Var\left( {{\sigma ^2}} \right) = \dfrac{{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^7 {{f_i}{{\left( {{x_i} - \overline x } \right)}^2}} }}{N} = \dfrac{{1736}}{{40}} = 43.4\]

Therefore, the variance is,

\[Var\left( {{\sigma ^2}} \right) = \dfrac{{{h^2}}}{{{N^2}}}\left[ {N{{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^9 {{f_i}{y_i}^2 - \left( {\sum\limits_{i = 1}^9 {{f_i}{y_i}} } \right)} }^2}} \right] = \dfrac{1}{{{{\left( {100} \right)}^2}}}\left[ {100 \times 286 - 0} \right] = 2.86\]

Therefore, the variance is,

\[Var\left( {{\sigma ^2}} \right) = \dfrac{{{h^2}}}{{{N^2}}}\left[ {N\sum\limits_{i = 1}^7 {{f_i}{y_i}^2 - {{\left( {\sum\limits_{i = 1}^7 {{f_i}{y_i}} } \right)}^2}} } \right] = \dfrac{{{{\left( {30} \right)}^2}}}{{{{\left( {30} \right)}^2}}}\left[ {30 \times 76 - {{\left( 2 \right)}^2}} \right] = 2280 - 4 = 2276\]

Therefore, the variance is,

$Var\left( {{\sigma ^2}} \right) = \dfrac{{{h^2}}}{{{N^2}}}\left[ {N{{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^9 {{f_i}{y_i}^2 - \left( {\sum\limits_{i = 1}^9 {{f_i}{y_i}} } \right)} }^2}} \right] = \dfrac{{{{\left( 5 \right)}^2}}}{{{{\left( {100} \right)}^2}}}\left[ {60 \times 254 - {{\left( 6 \right)}^2}} \right]  \\$

Therefore, the variance is,

$  Var\left( {{\sigma ^2}} \right) = \dfrac{{{h^2}}}{{{N^2}}}\left[ {N{{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^5 {{f_i}{y_i}^2 - \left( {\sum\limits_{i = 1}^5 {{f_i}{y_i}} } \right)} }^2}} \right] = \dfrac{{{{\left( 4 \right)}^2}}}{{{{\left( {100} \right)}^2}}}\left[ {100 \times 199 - {{\left( {25} \right)}^2}} \right]  \\$

$   \Rightarrow Var\left( {{\sigma ^2}} \right) = \dfrac{{16}}{{10000}}\left( {19900 - 625} \right) = \dfrac{{16}}{{10000}}\left( {19275} \right) = 30.84 \\\ $

Now the standard deviation can be calculated as shown below,

\[\therefore \sigma  = \sqrt {30.84}  = 5.55\]

Miscellaneous Exercise

1. The mean and variance of eight observations are ${\text{9}}$ and ${\text{9}}{\text{.25}}$ respectively. If six of the observations are \[{\text{6,}}\,{\text{7,10,}}\,{\text{12,}}\,{\text{12}}\] and \[{\text{13}}\], find the remaining two observations.

Ans: Consider the remaining two observations to be $x$ and $y$. Thus the eight observations are \[6,\,7,10,\,12,\,12,\,13,\,x,\,y\].

Therefore, from the mean of the data it can be obtained that,

\[\overline x  = \dfrac{{6 + 7 + \,10 + 12 + \,12 + 13 + x + y}}{8} = 9\] 

\[ \Rightarrow 60 + x + y = 72\]

\[ \Rightarrow x + y = 12\] ......(i)

Again, from the variance of the data it can be obtained that,

\[{\sigma ^2} = \dfrac{{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^8 {{{\left( {{x_i} - \overline x } \right)}^2}} }}{N} = 9.25\]

\[\therefore \dfrac{1}{8}\left[ {{{\left( { - 3} \right)}^2} + {{\left( { - 2} \right)}^2} + {{\left( 1 \right)}^2} + {{\left( 3 \right)}^2} + {{\left( 4 \right)}^2} + {x^2} + {y^2} - (2)(9)\left( {x + y} \right) + \left( {2{{\left( 9 \right)}^2}} \right)} \right] = 9.25\]

\[ \Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{8}\left[ {9 + 4 + 9 + 16 + {x^2} + {y^2} - (18)\left( {12} \right) + 162} \right] = 9.25\]   [By, using (i)]

\[ \Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{8}\left[ {{x^2} + {y^2} - 6} \right] = 9.25\]

\[ \Rightarrow {x^2} + {y^2} = 80\] ......(ii)

Observe that form equation (i), it can be obtained that,

${x^2} + {y^2} + 2xy = 144$ ......(iii)

Also, from equations (ii) and (iii), it can be obtained that,

\[2xy = 64\] ......(iv) 

Now, on subtracting equation (iv) from equation (ii), it can be obtained that,

\[{x^2} + {y^2} - 2xy = 16\] 

\[ \Rightarrow x - y =  \pm 4\] ......(v)

It can be calculated from equations (i) and (v) that, $x = 8$ and $y = 4$, when \[x - y = 4\] and $x = 4$ and $y = 8$, when \[x - y =  - 4\]. Henceforth, the remaining two observations are $4$ and $8$.

2. The mean and variance of ${\text{7}}$ observations are ${\text{8}}$ and ${\text{16}}$ respectively. If five of the observations are \[{\text{2,}}\,{\text{4,10,}}\,{\text{12}}\] and \[{\text{14}}\]. Find the remaining two observations.

Ans: Consider the remaining two observations to be $x$ and $y$. Thus the eight observations are \[2,\,4,10,\,12,\,14,\,x,\,y\].

Therefore, from the mean of the data it can be obtained that,

\[\overline x  = \dfrac{{2 + 4 + \,10 + 12 + \,14 + x + y}}{7} = 8\] 

\[ \Rightarrow 42 + x + y = 56\]

\[ \Rightarrow x + y = 14\] ......(i)

Again, from the variance of the data it can be obtained that,

\[{\sigma ^2} = \dfrac{{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^7 {{{\left( {{x_i} - \overline x } \right)}^2}} }}{N} = 16\]

\[\therefore \dfrac{1}{7}\left[ {{{\left( { - 6} \right)}^2} + {{\left( { - 4} \right)}^2} + {{\left( 2 \right)}^2} + {{\left( 4 \right)}^2} + {{\left( 6 \right)}^2} + {x^2} + {y^2} - (2)(8)\left( {x + y} \right) + \left( {2{{\left( 8 \right)}^2}} \right)} \right] = 16\]

\[ \Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{7}\left[ {36 + 16 + 4 + 16 + {x^2} + {y^2} - (16)\left( {14} \right) + 128} \right] = 16\]   [By, using (i)]

\[ \Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{7}\left[ {{x^2} + {y^2} + 12} \right] = 16\]

\[ \Rightarrow {x^2} + {y^2} = 100\] ......(ii)

Observe that form equation (i), it can be obtained that,

${x^2} + {y^2} + 2xy = 196$ ......(iii)

Also, from equations (ii) and (iii), it can be obtained that,

\[2xy = 96\] ......(iv) 

Now, on subtracting equation (iv) from equation (ii), it can be obtained that,

\[{x^2} + {y^2} - 2xy = 4\] 

\[ \Rightarrow x - y =  \pm 2\] ......(v)

It can be calculated from equations (i) and (v) that, $x = 8$ and $y = 6$, when \[x - y = 2\]and $x = 6$ and $y = 8$, when \[x - y =  - 2\]. Henceforth, the remaining two observations are $6$ and $8$.

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

Ans: Assume the observations to be \[{x_1},\,{x_2},\,{x_3},\,{x_4},\,{x_5},\,{x_6}\].

Therefore, the mean of the data is,

\[\overline x  = \dfrac{{{x_1} + {x_2} + {x_3} + {x_4} + {x_5} + {x_6}}}{6} = 8\] 

\[ \Rightarrow \dfrac{{{x_1} + {x_2} + {x_3} + {x_4} + {x_5} + {x_6}}}{6} = 8\] ......(i)

Observe that when each of the observation is multiplied with $3$ and if we consider the resulting observations as ${y_i}$, then observe as shown below,

$\therefore {y_1} = 3{x_1}$ 

$ \Rightarrow {x_1} = \dfrac{1}{3}{y_1},\,\forall i = 1,\,2,\,3,\,....,\,6\& i \in {\mathbb{Z}^ + }$  

Now, the mean of the new data is,

\[\therefore \overline y  = \dfrac{{{y_1} + {y_2} + {y_3} + {y_4} + {y_5} + {y_6}}}{6}\] 

\[ \Rightarrow \overline y  = \dfrac{{3({x_1} + {x_2} + {x_3} + {x_4} + {x_5} + {x_6})}}{6}\]

\[ \Rightarrow \overline y  = 3 \times 8\]      [By using (i)]

\[ \Rightarrow \overline y  = 24\]

Therefore, the standard deviation of the data is,

\[\sigma  = \sqrt {\dfrac{{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^6 {{{\left( {{x_i} - \overline x } \right)}^2}} }}{n}}  = 4\]

\[ \Rightarrow {\left( 4 \right)^2} = \dfrac{{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^6 {{{\left( {{x_i} - \overline x } \right)}^2}} }}{6}\]

\[ \Rightarrow \sum\limits_{i = 1}^6 {{{\left( {{x_i} - \overline x } \right)}^2}}  = 96\] ......(ii)

Again, it can be observed from equations (i) and (ii) that \[\overline y  = 3\overline x \] and \[\overline x  = \dfrac{{\overline y }}{3}\] and hence on substituting the values of ${x_i}$ and $\overline x $ in equation (ii) it can be clearly obtained as shown below,

 \[\therefore \sum\limits_{i = 1}^6 {{{\left( {\dfrac{{{y_i}}}{3} - \dfrac{{\overline y }}{3}} \right)}^2}}  = 96\]

\[ \Rightarrow \sum\limits_{i = 1}^6 {{{\left( {{y_i} - \overline y } \right)}^2}}  = 864\]

Henceforth, the standard deviation of the new data can be calculated as shown below,

\[\therefore \sigma  = \sqrt {\dfrac{{864}}{6}}  = \sqrt {144}  = 12\]

4. Given that $\overline {\text{x}} $ is the mean and $\sigma^{2}$ is the variance of ${\text{n}}$ observations ${{\text{x}}_{\text{1}}}{\text{,}}\,{{\text{x}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{,}}\,......{\text{,}}\,{{\text{x}}_{\text{n}}}$.Prove that the mean and variance of observations ${\text{a}}{{\text{x}}_{\text{1}}}{\text{,}}\,{\text{a}}{{\text{x}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{,}}\,{\text{a}}{{\text{x}}_{\text{3}}}{\text{, }}.....{\text{,}}\,{\text{a}}{{\text{x}}_{\text{n}}}$ are ${\text{a}}\overline {\text{x}} $ and ${{\text{a}}^{\text{2}}}{{\sigma}}^{\text{2}}$, respectively $\left( {{\text{a}} \ne {\text{0}}} \right)$.

Ans: Observe that the given observations are ${x_1},\,{x_2},\,......,\,{x_n}$ and the mean and variance of data is $\overline x $ and ${\sigma ^2}$ respectively.

\[\therefore {\sigma ^2} = \dfrac{{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{y_i}{{\left( {{x_i} - \overline x } \right)}^2}} }}{n}\]......(i)

Observe that when each of the observation is multiplied with $a$ and if we consider the resulting observations as ${y_i}$, then observe as shown below,

$\therefore {y_i} = a{x_i}$ 

$ \Rightarrow {x_i} = \dfrac{1}{a}{y_i},\,\forall i = 1,\,2,\,3,\,....,\,n\& i \in {\mathbb{Z}^ + }$  

Now, the mean of the new data is,

$\therefore \overline y  = \dfrac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{y_i}}  = \dfrac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {a{x_i}}  = \dfrac{a}{n}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{x_i}}  = a\overline x \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\left[ {\because \overline x  = \dfrac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{x_i}} } \right]$ 

Again on substituting the values of ${x_i}$ and $\overline x $ in equation (i) it can be clearly obtained as shown below,

 \[\therefore {\sigma ^2} = \dfrac{{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{{\left( {\dfrac{{{y_i}}}{a} - \dfrac{{\overline y }}{a}} \right)}^2}} }}{n}\]

\[ \Rightarrow {a^2}{\sigma ^2} = \dfrac{{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{{\left( {{y_i} - \overline y } \right)}^2}} }}{n}\]

Henceforth, it can be clearly proved that the mean and variance of the new data is $a\overline x $ and ${a^2}{\sigma ^2}$, respectively.

5. The mean and standard deviation of ${\text{20}}$ observations are found to be ${\text{10}}$ and ${\text{2}}$, respectively. On rechecking it was found that an observation ${\text{8}}$ was incorrect. Calculate the correct mean and standard deviation in each of the following cases:

(i) If wrong item is omitted 

Ans: Observe that the incorrect number of observations, incorrect mean and the incorrect standard deviation are $20$, $10$ and $2$, respectively. ${x_1},\,{x_2},\,......,\,{x_n}$ and the mean and variance of data is $\overline x $ and ${\sigma ^2}$ respectively.

\[\therefore \overline x  = \dfrac{{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{20} {{x_i}} }}{n} = 10\] 

\[ \Rightarrow \dfrac{{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{20} {{x_i}} }}{{20}} = 10\] 

\[ \Rightarrow \sum\limits_{i = 1}^{20} {{x_i}}  = 200\]

Now, the correct mean is,

\[\therefore \overline x  = \dfrac{{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{19} {{x_i}} }}{n}\] 

\[ \Rightarrow \overline x  = \dfrac{{192}}{{19}} = 10.1\,\,\,\,\,\left[ {\because \sum\limits_{i = 1}^{19} {{x_i}}  = 192} \right]\]

Again observe as shown below,

\[\therefore \sigma  = \sqrt {\dfrac{1}{{20}}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{20} {{x_i}^2 - {{\left( {\overline x } \right)}^2}} }  = 2\]

\[ \Rightarrow 4 = \dfrac{1}{{20}}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{20} {{x_i}^2 - {{\left( {\overline x } \right)}^2}} \]

\[ \Rightarrow 2080 = \sum\limits_{i = 1}^{20} {{x_i}^2} \]

Therefore, the correct standard deviation of the data is,

\[\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{20} {{x_i}^2}  - {\left( 8 \right)^2}\]

\[ \Rightarrow 2080 - 64\]

\[ \Rightarrow 2016\]

\[\therefore \sigma  = \sqrt {\dfrac{{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{19} {{x_i}^2} }}{n} - {{\left( {\overline x } \right)}^2}} \] 

\[ \Rightarrow \sigma  = \sqrt {\dfrac{{2016}}{{19}} - {{\left( {10.1} \right)}^2}} \]

\[ \Rightarrow \sigma  = \sqrt {1061.1 - 102.1}  = \sqrt {4.09}  = 2.02\]

(ii) If it is replaced by ${\text{12}}$.  

Ans: Observe that the incorrect sum of observations is $200$.

\[\therefore \sum\limits_{i = 1}^{20} {{x_i}}  = 200 - 8 + 12 = 204\]

Now, the correct mean is,

\[\therefore \overline x  = \dfrac{{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{20} {{x_i}} }}{n}\] 

\[ \Rightarrow \overline x  = \dfrac{{204}}{{20}} = 10.2\,\,\,\,\,\left[ {\because \sum\limits_{i = 1}^{20} {{x_i}}  = 204} \right]\]

Again observe as shown below,

\[\therefore \sigma  = \sqrt {\dfrac{1}{{20}}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{20} {{x_i}^2 - {{\left( {\overline x } \right)}^2}} }  = 2\]

\[ \Rightarrow 4 = \dfrac{1}{{20}}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{20} {{x_i}^2 - {{\left( {\overline x } \right)}^2}} \]

\[ \Rightarrow 2080 = \sum\limits_{i = 1}^{20} {{x_i}^2} \]

Therefore, the correct standard deviation of the data is,

\[\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{20} {{x_i}^2}  - {\left( 8 \right)^2} + {\left( {12} \right)^2}\]

\[ \Rightarrow 2080 - 64 + 144\]

\[ \Rightarrow 2160\]

\[\therefore \sigma  = \sqrt {\dfrac{{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{20} {{x_i}^2} }}{n} - {{\left( {\overline x } \right)}^2}} \] 

\[ \Rightarrow \sigma  = \sqrt {\dfrac{{2160}}{{20}} - {{\left( {10.2} \right)}^2}} \]

\[ \Rightarrow \sigma  = \sqrt {108 - 104.04}  = \sqrt {3.96}  = 1.98\]

6. The mean and standard deviation of a group of ${\text{100}}$ observations were found to be ${\text{20}}$ and ${\text{3}}$, respectively. Later on it was found that ${\text{3}}$ observations are incorrect which were recorded as ${\text{21,}}\,{\text{21}}$ and ${\text{18}}$. Find the mean and standard deviation if the incorrect  observations are omitted.

Ans: Observe that the number of observations, incorrect mean and the incorrect standard deviation are $100$, $20$ and $3$, respectively. ${x_1},\,{x_2},\,......,\,{x_n}$ and the mean and variance of data is $\overline x $ and ${\sigma ^2}$ respectively.

\[\therefore \overline x  = \dfrac{{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{100} {{x_i}} }}{n} = 20\] 

\[ \Rightarrow \dfrac{{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{100} {{x_i}} }}{{100}} = 20\] 

\[ \Rightarrow \sum\limits_{i = 1}^{100} {{x_i}}  = 2000\]

Now, the correct mean is,

\[\therefore \overline x  = \dfrac{{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{97} {{x_i}} }}{n}\] 

\[ \Rightarrow \overline x  = \dfrac{{2000 - 60}}{{97}} = 20\,\,\,\,\,\left[ {\because \sum\limits_{i = 1}^{97} {{x_i}}  = 1940} \right]\]

Again observe as shown below,

\[\therefore \sigma  = \sqrt {\dfrac{1}{{100}}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{100} {{x_i}^2 - {{\left( {\overline x } \right)}^2}} }  = 3\]

\[ \Rightarrow 9 = \dfrac{1}{{100}}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{100} {{x_i}^2 - {{\left( {\overline x } \right)}^2}} \]

\[ \Rightarrow 40900 = \sum\limits_{i = 1}^{100} {{x_i}^2} \]

Therefore, the correct standard deviation of the data is,

\[\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{100} {{x_i}^2}  - (2){\left( {21} \right)^2} - {(18)^2}\]

\[ \Rightarrow 40900 - 1206\]

\[ \Rightarrow 39694\]

\[\therefore \sigma  = \sqrt {\dfrac{{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{97} {{x_i}^2} }}{n} - {{\left( {\overline x } \right)}^2}} \] 

\[ \Rightarrow \sigma  = \sqrt {\dfrac{{39694}}{{97}} - {{\left( {20} \right)}^2}} \]

\[ \Rightarrow \sigma  = \sqrt {409.22 - 400}  = \sqrt {9.22}  = 3.04\].

Class 11 Maths NCERT Solutions Chapter 13 - Summary

• Statistics: It is defined as the process of collection and classification of data, interpretation, and presentation of the data, and analysis of data. Statistics also is defined as concluding the sample data that is collected using experiments. Statistics is applied in various fields such as sociology, psychology, geology, probability, and so on.

• Measures of Dispersion in Statistics: The dispersion in the data is measured based on the observations data and measure of central tendency type. 

• There are different types to represent the measures of dispersion. They are Range, Mean deviation, Quartile deviation, and Standard deviation.

• Range in Statistics: The range is the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value in the given data set.

The formula of Range = Maximum Value – Minimum Value

• Mean Deviation in Statistics: The term “mean deviation” is defined as the difference between the observed value of a data point and the expected value.

• Variance and Standard Deviation: These are the two important measurements in statistics. Variance is a measure of how data values vary from the mean, on the other hand the standard deviation is the measure of the distribution of statistical data. The variance and the standard deviation are measured in different units.

• Analysis of Frequency Distributions: A frequency distribution represents the frequency of items of a data set in a graphical format or a tabular format. With the help of a frequency distribution, we will get a visual display of the frequency of data items which represents the number of times they repeated.

Measures of dispersion Range, Quartile deviation, mean deviation, variance, and standard deviation are measures of dispersion. Range $=$ Maximum Value - Minimum Value

• Mean deviation for ungrouped data

$$ \begin{aligned} & M D .(\bar{x})=\frac{\sum f_i\left(x_i-\bar{x}\right)}{N}, \\ & M D .(M)=\frac{\sum f_i\left(x_i-M\right)}{N}, \end{aligned} $$

where $N=\sum f_i$

• Variance and standard deviation for ungrouped data

$$ \begin{aligned} & \sigma^2=\frac{1}{n} \sum\left(x_l-\bar{x}\right)^2, \\ & \sigma=\sqrt{\frac{1}{n} \sum\left(x_l-\bar{x}\right)^2}, \end{aligned} $$

• Variance and standard deviation of a discrete frequency distribution

$$ \begin{aligned} & \sigma^2=\frac{1}{N} \sum f_i\left(x_i-\bar{x}\right)^2, \\ & \sigma=\sqrt{\frac{1}{N} \sum f_i\left(x_i-\bar{x}\right)^2} \end{aligned} $$

• Variance and standard deviation of a continuous frequency distribution

$$ \begin{aligned} & \sigma^2=\frac{1}{N} \sum f_i\left(x_i-\bar{x}\right)^2, \\ & \sigma=\frac{1}{N} \sqrt{N \sum f_i x_i^2-\left(\sum f_i x_i\right)^2} \end{aligned} $$

• Shortcut method to find variance and standard deviation.

$$ \begin{aligned} & \sigma^2=\frac{h^2}{N^2}\left[N \sum f_i y_i^2-\left(\sum f_i y_i\right)^2\right], \\ & \sigma=\frac{h}{N} \sqrt{N \sum f_i x_i^2-\left(\sum f_i x_i\right)^2} \text { where } \frac{x_i-A}{h} \end{aligned} $$

Coefficient of variation(C.V.) $=\frac{\sigma}{\bar{x}} \times 100, \bar{x} \neq 0$.
