Exercise 11.1

Question 1.

Find the range and coefficient of range of the following data.

59, 46, 30, 23, 27, 40, 52, 35, 29

Answer:

Given the set of data 59, 46, 30, 23, 27, 40, 52, 35, 29.

Let the maximum value in the data set be denoted by x_max and minimum by x_min

Range = Maximum value in the data set – Minimum value in the data set

= x_max - x_min

= 59 – 23

= 36

∴ Range R = 36

Let the Coefficient of Range be denoted by s.

s = 

= 

= 

= 0.439≈0.44

∴ s = 0.44

Question 2.

Find the range and coefficient of range of the following data.

41.2, 33.7, 29.1, 34.5, 25.7, 24.8, 56.5, 12.5

Answer:

Given the set of data 41.2, 33.7, 29.1, 34.5, 25.7, 24.8, 56.5, 12.5.

Let the maximum value in the data set be denoted by x_max and minimum by x_min

Range = Maximum value in the data set – Minimum value in the data set

= x_max - x_min

= 56.5 – 12.5

= 44

∴ Range R = 44

Let the Coefficient of Range be denoted by s.

s = 

= 

= 

= 0.637≈0.64

∴ s = 0.64

Question 3.

The smallest value of a collection of data is 12 and the range is 59. Find the largest value of the collection of data.

Answer:

Given x_min = 12, R = 59

Range R = x_max - x_min

Substituting the given terms into the above formula, we get

R = x_max - x_min

59 = x_max - 12

 x_max = 59 + 12 = 71

Question 4.

The largest of 50 measurements is 3.84 kg. If the range is 0.46 kg, find the smallest measurement.

Answer:

Given x_max = 3.84kg, R = 0.46kg

Range R = x_max - x_min

Substituting the given terms into the above formula, we get

R = x_max - x_min

0.46 = 3.84- x_min

 x_min = 3.84 - 0.46 = 3.38kg

Question 5.

The standard deviation of 20 observations is √5. If each observation is multiplied by 2, find the standard deviation and variance of the resulting observations.

Answer:

Let the observations be x₁, x₂, x₃….x₂₀

Given SD = 

Formula for SD = 

Where N = 20, SD = 

If each observation is multiplied by 2, we get new set of observations.

Let the new observations be y₁, y₂, y₃….y₂₀

New Standard Deviation SD’ = 

We know that  and 

But y_i = 2x_i

Therefore, 

Substituting in the SD’ formula,

SD’ = 

= 

= 2 × SD = 2

Formula relating SD and Variance is Variance = SD²

So Variance = (2² = 20

SD of 10 items = 2

Wrong Value = 8

Correct Value = 12

To find Mean:

Formula for 

= 10 = 

Sum of all the items 200

This value is wrong since item 12 was wrongly entered as 8.

Let  be the corrected sum

200 + (Correct Value) - (Wrong Value)

= 200 + 12 - 8 = 204

Corrected mean will be  = 10.2

To find SD:

SD² = 

4 = 

 = 2080

This value is wrong since item 12 was wrongly entered as 8.

Let  be the corrected sum of squares.

 = 2080 + (Correct Value)² - (Wrong Value)²

= 2080 + 12² - 8²

= 2160

A. 

B. t + 5

C. t

If the standard deviation of a set of data is 1.6, then the variance is
A. 0.4

B. 2.56

C. 1.96

C. 5

D. 0

Answer:

Standard deviation of a constant set of data is 0.

We know that Variance = SD²

Variance = 0

So the correct option is D.

Question 12.

If the variance of 14, 18, 22, 26, 30 is 32, then the variance of 28, 36,44,52,60 is
A. 64

B. 128

C. 32√2

D. 32

Answer:

Two data sets are given.

Set A : 14, 18, 22, 26, 30 with V = 32

Set B : 28, 36, 44, 52, 60 with V = ?

We notice that each data entry in set B is twice the corresponding data entry in set A.

SD of set B = 2 × SD of set A.

We know that Variance = SD²

Variance of Set B = 2² × Variance of Set A.

= 4 × 32 = 128.

So the correct option is B.

Question 13.

Standard deviation of a collection of data is 2√2. If each value is multiplied by 3, then the standard deviation of the new data is
A. 

B. 4√2

C. 6√2
