(i) Average life of bulbs of brand B is more than that of brand A. therefore, the bulbs of brand b have a life greater than bulbs of brand A.
(ii) Since c.v. of brand b is less than c.v. of brand A, therefore, brand b is more reliable and consistent.

(i) Batsman X has higher average while batsman Y is more consistent. Therefore, we need to find what is more important for us a higher average or more consistency. If consistency is more important, player Y should be selected and if performance is more important then player X should be selected.
3.
For Wheat
Range = L - S = 25 - 9 = 16
\(Q.D={Q_3-Q_2\over2}\)
First we need to arrange this data in ascending or descending order.
| 9 | 10 | 10 | 12 | 15 | 16 | 18 | 19 | 21 | 25 |
\(Q_1={N+1\over4}th \ item\)
\(={10+1\over4}th \ item\)
=2.75th item
Since 2 and 3 item are equal therefore,
Q1 =10
\(Q_3={3(N+1)\over4}th \ item\)
= 7.25th item
= 18 + (19 - 18) x 0.75 = 18.75
Q.D=\({18.75-10\over 2}=4.375\)
M.D. about Mean

| Total | \(\sum D=43\) | \(\sum D^2=354.5\) |
Mean=\({\sum X\over N}={155\over10}=15.5\)
\(M.D.={\sum |D|\over N}\)
M.D. = 43/10 = 4.3
Mean Deviation about Median
\(Median ={N+1\over 2}th \ item\)
\(={10+1\over 2}th \ item\)
= 5.5th item
Median = 15.5
Since Mean and Median are equal therefore, M.D. from mean and median will also be equal.
\(S.D=\sqrt{\sum D^2\over N}=\sqrt{35435\over10}\)
= 5.43 snesh
Coefficient of Variation
=\({S.D\over Mean}\times 100\)
\(={5.43\over 15.5}\times 100=29.45\%\)
For Rice
Range = L - S = 34 - 12 = 22
\(Q.D={Q_3-Q_2\over2}\)
First we need to arrange this data in ascending or descending order.
| 12 | 12 | 12 | 15 | 18 | 18 | 22 | 23 | 29 | 34 |
\(Q_1={N+1\over4}th \ item\)
\(={10+1\over4}th \ item\)
=2.75th item
Since 2 and 3 item are equal therefore ,
Q1 =12
\(Q_3={3(N+1)\over4}th \ item\)
= 7.25th item
= 22 + (23 - 22) x 0.75
= 22.75
\(Q.D.={22.75-12\over2}\)

\(Mean={\sum X\over N}={195\over 10}=19.5\)
\(M.D={\sum |D|\over N}\)
M.D. = 60/10 = 6
Mean Deviation about Median
\(Median={N+1\over2}th \ item\)
\(={10+1\over2}th \ item\)
= 5.5th item
Since 5th and 6th item are equal, 5.5th item
= 18. Median is 18.

Coefficient of Variation of Wheat \(={S.D\over Mean}\times 100\)
\(={5.43\over15.5}\times100=29.75\%\)
Coefficient of Variation of Rice\(={S.D\over Mean}\times 100\)
\(={7.16\over19.5}\times100=36.72\%\)
In my opinion, it is more reliable to grow wheat as its c.v. is less i.e. consistency is more.
