| Marks | Mid value (xi) |
fi | di = xi-A | di = \(\frac { x_{ i }-A }{ c } \) | fidi | fidi2 |
| 0-10 | 5 | 8 | -30 | -3 | -24 | 72 |
| 10-20 | 15 | 12 | -20 | -2 | -24 | 48 |
| 20-30 | 25 | 17 | -10 | -1 | -17 | 17 |
| 30-40 | 35 | 14 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 40-50 | 45 | 9 | 10 | 1 | 9 | 9 |
| 50-60 | 55 | 7 | 20 | 2 | 14 | 28 |
| 60-70 | 65 | 4 | 30 | 3 | 12 | 36 |
| N = 71 | Σfidi = -30 | Σfidi2 = 210 |
Standard deviation σ = \(c\times \sqrt { \frac { \Sigma { f }_{ i }{ d }_{ i }^{ 2 } }{ N } -\left( \frac { \Sigma { f }_{ i }{ d }_{ i } }{ N } \right) ^{ 2 } } \)
σ = \(10\times \sqrt { \frac { 210 }{ 71 } -\left( \frac { 30 }{ 71 } \right) ^{ 2 } } =10\times \sqrt { \frac { 210 }{ 71 } -\frac { 900 }{ 5041 } } \)
= 10 x \(\sqrt { 2.779 } \); σ ≃ 16.67

| xi | fi | xifi | di = xi - \(\bar { x } \) | di2 | fidi2 |
| 6 | 3 | 18 | -3 | 9 | 27 |
| 7 | 6 | 42 | -2 | 4 | 24 |
| 8 | 9 | 72 | -1 | 1 | 9 |
| 9 | 13 | 117 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 10 | 8 | 80 | 1 | 1 | 8 |
| 11 | 5 | 55 | 2 | 4 | 20 |
| 12 | 4 | 48 | 3 | 9 | 36 |
| N = 48 | Σxifi = 432 | Σdi = 0 | Σfidi2 = 124 |
Mean
\(\bar { x } =\frac { \Sigma { x }_{ i }{ f }_{ i } }{ N } =\frac { 432 }{ 48 } \) = 9 (Since N = Σfi)
Standard deviation
σ =\(\sqrt { \frac { \Sigma { f }_{ i }{ d }_{ i }^{ 2 } }{ N } } =\sqrt { \frac { 124 }{ 48 } } =\sqrt { 2.58 } \)
σ ≃ 1.6
Assumed Mean method:
Let x1, x2, x3, ......x4 be the given data with frequencies f1, f2, f3, ... fn respectively.
Let \(\bar { x } \) be their mean and A be the assumed mean
di = xi - A
Standard deviation σ = \(\sqrt { \frac { \Sigma { f }_{ i }{ d }_{ i }^{ 2 } }{ N } -\left( \frac { \Sigma { f }_{ i }{ d }_{ i } }{ N } \right) ^{ 2 } } \).
3.
Mean \(\bar { x } \) = \(\frac { Sum\ of\ all\ observations }{ Number\ of\ observation } \)
= \(\frac { \Sigma x_{ i } }{ n } =\frac { 1+2+3+...+n }{ n } =\frac { n(n+1) }{ 2\times n } \)
Mean \(\bar { x } \) = \(\frac { n+1 }{ 2 } \)
Variance σ2 = \(\frac { \Sigma x_{ i }^{ 2 } }{ n } -\left( \frac { \Sigma x_{ i } }{ n } \right) ^{ 2 }\left[ \begin{matrix} \Sigma x_{ i }^{ 2 }={ 1 }^{ 2 }+{ 2 }^{ 2 }+{ 3 }^{ 2 }+...+{ n }^{ 2 } \\ (\Sigma x_{ i })^{ 2 }=(1+2+3+...+n)2 \end{matrix} \right] \)
= \(\frac { n(n+1)(2n+1) }{ 6\times n } -\left[ \frac { n(n+1) }{ 2\times n } \right] ^{ 2 }\)
= \(\frac { 2n^{ 2 }+3n+1 }{ 6 } -\frac { { n }^{ 2 }+2n+1 }{ 4 } \)
Variance σ2 = \(\frac { 4n^{ 2 }+6n+2-3n^{ 2 }-6n-3 }{ 12 } =\frac { { n }^{ 2 }-1 }{ 12 } \).
4.
| xi | xi2 |
| 13 | 169 |
| 8 | 64 |
| 4 | 16 |
| 9 | 81 |
| 7 | 49 |
| 12 | 144 |
| 10 | 100 |
| \({ \Sigma x }_{ i }\) = 63 | \({ \Sigma x }_{ i }^{ 2 }\) = 623 |
Standard deviation
σ =\(\sqrt { \frac { \Sigma x_{ i }^{ 2 } }{ n } -\left( \frac { { \Sigma x }_{ i } }{ n } \right) ^{ 2 } } \)
=\(\sqrt { \frac { 623 }{ 7 } -\left( \frac { 63 }{ 7 } \right) ^{ 2 } } \)
=\(\\ \sqrt { 89-81 } =\sqrt { 8 } \)
Hence, σ ≃ 2.83
(ii) Mean method:
Another convenient way of finding standard deviation is to use the following formula.
Standard deviation (by mean method) σ = \(\sqrt { \frac { \Sigma ({ x }_{ i }-\bar { x } )^{ 2 } }{ n } } \)
If di = xi - \(\bar { x } \) are the deviations, then σ = \(\sqrt { \frac { { \Sigma d }_{ i }^{ 2 } }{ n } } \).
5.
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.
6.
| 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.
7.
| 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
8.
Sample space
S = {1H,1T,2H,2T,3H,3T,4H,4T,5H,5T,6H,6T};
n(S) = 12
Let A be the event of getting an odd number and a head.
A = {1H, 3H, 5H}; n(A) = 3
P(A) = \(\frac { n(A) }{ n(S) } =\frac { 3 }{ 12 } =\frac { 1 }{ 4 } \)

9.
leap year has 366 days. So it has 52 full weeks and 2 days. 52 Saturdays must be in 52 full weeks.
The possible chances for the remaining two days will be the sample space.
S = {(Sun-Mon, Mon-Tue, Tue-Wed, Wed-Thu, Thu-Fri, Fri-Sat, Sat-Sun)}
n(S) = 7
Let A be the event of getting 53rd Saturday.
Then A = {Fri-Sat, Sat-Sun}; n(A) = 2
Probability of getting 53 Saturdays in a leap year is P(A0 = \(\frac { n(A) }{ n(S) } =\frac { 2 }{ 7 } \).
10.
When two coins are tossed together, the sample space is
S = {HH, HT, TH, TT} n(S) = 4
Let A be the event of getting different faces on the coins.
A = {HT, TH}; n(A) = 2
Probability of getting different faces on the coins is P(A) = \(\frac { n(A) }{ n(S) } =\frac { 2 }{ 4 } =\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \).
