Find the variance and standard deviation for the following data:
${x_i}$ | $4$ | $8$ | $11$ | $17$ | $20$ | $24$ | $32$ |
${f_i}$ | $3$ | $5$ | $9$ | $5$ | $4$ | $3$ | $1$ |
Presenting the data in tabular form (Table), we get
${x_i}$ | ${f_i}$ | ${f_i}{x_i}$ | ${{x_i} - \bar x}$ | ${\left( {{x_i} - \bar x} \right)^2}$ | ${f_i}{\left( {{x_i} - \bar x} \right)^2}$ |
$4$ | $3$ | $12$ | $-10$ | $100$ | $300$ |
$8$ | $5$ | $40$ | $-6$ | $36$ | $180$ |
$11$ | $9$ | $99$ | $-3$ | $9$ | $81$ |
$17$ | $5$ | $85$ | $3$ | $9$ | $45$ |
$20$ | $4$ | $80$ | $6$ | $36$ | $144$ |
$24$ | $3$ | $72$ | $10$ | $100$ | $300$ |
$32$ | $1$ | $32$ | $18$ | $324$ | $324$ |
$30$ | $420$ | $1374$ |
$N = 30,\sum\limits_{i = 1}^7 {{f_i}{x_i}} = 420,\sum\limits_{i = 1}^7 {{f_i}{{\left( {{x_i} - \bar x} \right)}^2} = 1374} $
Therefore $\bar x = \frac{{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^7 {{f_i}{x_i}} }}{N} = \frac{1}{{30}} \times 420 = 14$
Hence Variance $\left( {{\sigma ^2}} \right) = \frac{1}{N}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^7 {{f_i}{{\left( {{x_i} - \bar x} \right)}^2}} $
$\left( {{\sigma ^2}} \right) = \frac{1}{N}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^7 {{f_i}{{\left( {{x_i} - \bar x} \right)}^2}} $
and Standard deviation $\left( \sigma \right) = \sqrt {45.8} = 6.77$
Find the mean and variance for the first $n$ natural numbers
If the mean and variance of five observations are $\frac{24}{5}$ and $\frac{194}{25}$ respectively and the mean of first four observations is $\frac{7}{2}$, then the variance of the first four observations in equal to
Let $r$ be the range and ${S^2} = \frac{1}{{n - 1}}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{{({x_i} - \bar x)}^2}} $ be the $S.D.$ of a set of observations ${x_1},\,{x_2},\,.....{x_n}$, then
The variance of $10$ observations is $16$. If each observation is doubled, then standard deviation of new data will be -
Let sets $A$ and $B$ have $5$ elements each. Let the mean of the elements in sets $A$ and $B$ be $5$ and $8$ respectively and the variance of the elements in sets $A$ and $B$ be $12$ and $20$ respectively $A$ new set $C$ of $10$ elements is formed by subtracting $3$ from each element of $A$ and adding 2 to each element of B. Then the sum of the mean and variance of the elements of $C$ is $.......$.
