Question 15.
From the data given below state which group is more variable, A or B?

Marks Group A Group B
10 – 20 9 10
20 – 30 17 20
30 – 40 32 30
40 – 50 33 25
50 – 60 40 143
60 – 70 10 15
70 – 80 9 7

Answer:
We know that, the group having greater C.V.(co-efficient of variation) is said w be more variable than other. So, we compute mean and S.D. for groups A and B.
First we compute mean and S.D. for A.
1st PUC Maths Question Bank Chapter 15 Statistics 38
1st PUC Maths Question Bank Chapter 15 Statistics 39
1st PUC Maths Question Bank Chapter 15 Statistics 40
Clearly, B having greater C. V. than A. Therefore B is more variable.

Note:
For two frequency distributions with equal means, the series with greater S.D. is more variable than the other.

Question 17.
An analysis of monthly wages paid to workers in two firms A and B, belonging to the same industry, gives the following results.

A B
No. of wage earners 586 648
Mean of monthly wages (Rs ) 5253 5253
Variance of the distribution of wages 100 121

(i) Which firm A or B pays larger amount as monthly wages?
(ii) Which firm A or B shows greater variability in individual wages?
Answer:
(i) Amount of monthly wages paid by firm A.
= 586 x mean wages
= 586 x 5253 = Rs.3078258
And amount of monthly wages paid by form B
= 648 x mean wages
= 648 x 5253 = Rs. 3403944.
Clearly, firm B pays more wages.
Alternatively,
The variance of wages in A is 100.
∴ S.D. of distribution of wage in A = 10
Also the variance of distribution of wages in firm B is 121.
∴ S.D. of distribution of wages in B = 11.
since the average monthly wages in both firms is same i.e., Rs. 5253, therefore the firm with greater S.D. will have more variability.
‍∴ Firm B pays more wages.

(ii) Firm B with greater S.D. shows greater variability in individual wages.

Question 18.
Two plants A and B of a factory show following results about the number of workers and the wages paid to them.

A B
No – of workers 5000 6000
Average monthly wages 2500 2500
Variance distribution of wages 81 100

In which plant A or B is there greater variability in individual wages?
Answer:
B. (Try yourself) (Ex. 13 Text book)

Question 19.
The following is the record of goals scored by team A in a football session:
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?
Answer:
First, compute mean number of goals and S.D. for team A.
1st PUC Maths Question Bank Chapter 15 Statistics 45
Given : Mean number of goals for the team B is 2 and S.D. is 1.25
Since S.D. For A is less than S.D for B.
∴ A is more consistent.

Question 22.
The following values are calculated in respect of heights and weight of the students of a section of class XI.

Height Weight
Mean 162 – 6 cm 52-36 kg
Variance 127 – 69 cm2 23. 1361kg2

Can we say that the weight show greater variation than the height.
Answer:
1st PUC Maths Question Bank Chapter 15 Statistics 49
Clearly C.V. (weights) is greater than C.V. (heights). Weights show more variability than heights.

Question 8.
The mean and standard deviation of 100 observations were calculated as 40 and 5.1 respectively by a student who took by mistake 50 instead of 40 for one observation. What are the correct mean and standard deviation?
Answer:
Given: N = 100
Incorrect mean = 40 = \(a \bar{x} \)
Incorrect S.D. = 5.1
We have, \(\bar{x}=\frac{1}{N} \Sigma x_{i}\)
⇒\(\Sigma x_{i}=N \bar{x}=100 \times 40=4000\)
∴ Incorrect sum of observations = 4000.
∴ Correct sum of observations = 4000 – 50 + 40 = 3990.
