Let assumed mean A = 30
C = 5
| x | d' = \(\frac { x-30 }{ 5 } \) | d'2 |
| 20 | -2 | 4 |
| 25 | -1 | 1 |
| 30 | 0 | 0 |
| 35 | 1 | 1 |
| 40 | 2 | 4 |
| Σd' = 0 | Σd'2 = 10 |
σ =\(\sqrt { \left( \frac { \Sigma d'^{ 2 } }{ n } \right) -\left( \frac { \Sigma d' }{ n } \right) ^{ 2 } } \) x c
=\(\sqrt { \frac { 10 }{ 5 } -0 } \) x 5
=\(\sqrt { 2 } \) x 5
= 5\(\sqrt { 2 } \)
To convert the values for 100, all the values will be multiplied by 2. Therefore the new values are 40, 50, 60, 70, 80.
Let A = 60, C = 10
| x | d' = \(\frac { x-60 }{ 10 } \) | d'2 |
| 40 | -2 | 4 |
| 50 | -1 | 1 |
| 60 | 0 | 0 |
| 70 | 1 | 1 |
| 80 | 2 | 4 |
σ =\(\sqrt { \left( \frac { \Sigma d'^{ 2 } }{ n } \right) -\left( \frac { \Sigma d' }{ n } \right) ^{ 2 } } \) x c
=\(\sqrt { \frac { 10 }{ 5 } -0 } \) x 10
=\(\sqrt { 2 } \) x 10
= 10\(\sqrt { 2 } \)
S.D. also be multiplied by 2. It is also true for the division also.

| x | d' = \(\frac { x-15 }{ 5 } \) | d'2 |
| 5 | -2 | 4 |
| 10 | -1 | 1 |
| 15 | 0 | 0 |
| 20 | 1 | 1 |
| 25 | 2 | 4 |
| Σd = 0 | Σd'2 = 10 |
\(\bar { x } =\frac { \Sigma x }{ n } =\frac { 75 }{ 5 } \)=15
d'=\(\frac { x-\bar { x } }{ c } =\frac { x-A }{ c } \)
A is assumed mean c is common factor.
Here A= 15, C = 5
σ =\(\sqrt { \left( \frac { \Sigma d'^{ 2 } }{ n } \right) -\left( \frac { \Sigma d' }{ n } \right) ^{ 2 } } \) x c
=\(\sqrt { \frac { 10 }{ 5 } -0 } \) x c
=\(\sqrt { 2 } \) x 5
= 5\(\sqrt { 2 } \)
If 3 is added to each value, we get 8, 13, 18,23, 28 as new values.
| x | d' = \(\frac { x-18 }{ 5 } \) | d'2 |
| 8 | -2 | 4 |
| 13 | -1 | 1 |
| 18 | 0 | 0 |
| 23 | 1 | 1 |
| 28 | 2 | 4 |
| Σd' = 10 | Σd'2 = 10 |
∴ σ =\(\sqrt { \left( \frac { \Sigma d'^{ 2 } }{ n } \right) -\left( \frac { \Sigma d' }{ n } \right) ^{ 2 } } \) x c
=\(\sqrt { \frac { 10 }{ 5 } -0 } \) x 5
=\(\sqrt { 2 } \) x 5
= 5\(\sqrt { 2 } \)
S.D. doesn't change when a number is added or subtracted to the values.

| x | x2 |
| 30 | 900 |
| 80 | 6400 |
| 60 | 3600 |
| 70 | 4900 |
| 20 | 400 |
| 40 | 1600 |
| 50 | 2500 |
| Σx = 350 | Σx2 = 20300 |
σ =\(\sqrt { \frac { \Sigma x^{ 2 } }{ n } -\left( \frac { \Sigma x }{ n } \right) ^{ 2 } } \)
=\(\\ \sqrt { \frac { 20300 }{ 7 } -\left( \frac { 350 }{ 7 } \right) ^{ 2 } } \)
=\(\sqrt { 400 } \) = 20
4.
Mean \(\bar x\) = 15
Coefficient of variation (C.V) = 48
Coefficient of variation C.V \(=\frac{\sigma}{x} \times 100 \%\)
\(48 =\frac{\sigma}{15} \times 100 \% \)
\(\frac{48 \times 15}{100} =\sigma \)
\(\sigma=\frac{36}{5}=7.2 \)
Standard deviation \(\sigma=7.2 \)
5.
If the range = 36.8 and
the smallest value =13.4
Range R = L - S
36.8 = L-13.4
= 36.8 + 13.4 = 50.2
The largest value L = 50.2
6.
Total number of cards = 52
Event of selecting a spade card = A
Event of selecting a heart card = B
n(A) = 13, n(B) = 13
P(A) =\(\frac { 13 }{ 52 } =\frac { 1 }{ 4 } \), P(B) =\(\frac { 13 }{ 52 } =\frac { 1 }{ 4 } \).
A ⋂ B refers to a card is both spade and heart. It is not possible

A, B are exclusive events.
P(A,B) = P(A) + P(B) =\(\frac { 1 }{ 4 } +\frac { 1 }{ 4 } =\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \).
7.
σ = 21.2, \(\bar { x } \) = 36.6
CV = \(\frac { \sigma }{ \bar { x } } \) x 100 = \(\frac { 21.2 }{ 36.6 } \) x 100 = 57.92%
8.
CV =\(\frac { \sigma }{ \bar { x } } \) x 100 ⇒ \(\bar { x } =\frac { \sigma }{ CV } \) x 100
\(\bar { x } =\frac { 15.6 }{ 6.9 } \) x 100 = 22.6
9.
Mean \(\bar { x } \) = \(\frac { 16+13+17+21+18 }{ 5 } =\frac { 85 }{ 5 } \) = 17
| x | d = x - 17 | d2 |
| 16 | -1 | 1 |
| 13 | -4 | 16 |
| 17 | 0 | 0 |
| 21 | 4 | 16 |
| 18 | 1 | 1 |
| Σd = 0 | Σd2 = 34 |
σ =\(\sqrt { \frac { \Sigma d^{ 2 } }{ n } } =\sqrt { \frac { 34 }{ 5 } } =\sqrt { 638 } \)
σ = 2.61
Co-efficient of variation
CV = \(\frac { \sigma }{ \bar { x } } \) x 100 = \(\frac { 2.61 }{ 17 } \) x 100
= 15.35%
10.
Σ(x -10)2 = 79 = Σx2- 20x + 100 = 79
= Σx2- 20Σx + 100 x 9 = 79
= Σx2- 20 x 99 + 900 = 79
Σx2 = 79 + 1980 - 900 = 1159
Σ(x - \(\bar { x } \))2 = Σ(x - 11)2 = Σ(x2 - 22x + 121)
= Σx2 - 22Σx + 121 x 9
= 1159 - 22 x 99 + 1089 = 70
∴ Σx2 = 1159, Σ(x - \(\bar { x } \))2 = 70
11.
Let number of black balls be 'x'.
Number of white balls = 5.
P(black ball) = \(\frac { x }{ x+5 } \)
P(white ball) = \(\frac { 5 }{ x+5 } \)
∵ P(black ball) = 2 x p(white ball)
⇒ \(\frac { x }{ x+5 } =2\times \frac { 5}{ x+5 } \) ⇒ x = 10
Number of black balls = 10
