PSEB Solutions for Class 11 Maths Chapter 15 Statistics Ex 15.3
Question 1.
From the data given below state which group is more variable, A or B?
Answer.
For Group A:
Mean, \(\bar{x}\) = A + \(\frac{\sum f_{i} y_{i}}{\sum f_{i}}\) × h
= 45 + \(\frac{-6}{150}\) × 10
= 45 – 0.4 = 44.6
Variance (σ2) = \(\frac{\sum f_{i} y_{i}}{\sum f_{i}}\) [N Σ fi yi2 – (Σ fi yi)2]
= \(\frac{100}{22500}\) [150 × 342 – (- 6)2]
= \(\frac{1}{225}\) [51300 – 36]
= \(\frac{51264}{225}\)
= 227.84
Coefficient of variation (C.V.) = \(\frac{\sigma}{\bar{x}}\) × 100
= \(\frac{15.09}{44.6}\) × 100
= 33.83
For Group B :
Mean, \(\bar{x}\) = A + \(\frac{\sum f_{i} y_{i}}{\sum f_{i}}\) × h
= 45 + \(\frac{-6}{150}\) × 10
= 45 – 0.4 = 44.6
Variance (σ2) = \(\frac{\sum f_{i} y_{i}}{\sum f_{i}}\) [N Σ fi yi2 – (Σ fi yi)2]
= \(\frac{100}{22500}\) [150 × 366 – (- 6)2]
= \(\frac{1}{225}\) (54900 – 36)
= \(\frac{54864}{225}\) = 243.84
∴ σ = 15.61
Coefficient of variation (C.V.) = \(\frac{\sigma}{\bar{x}}\) × 100
= \(\frac{15.61}{44.6}\) × 100 = 35
Coefficient of variation of group B is greater than the coefficient of variation of group A.
Therefore, group B is more variable than group A.
Question 2.
From the prices of shares X and Y below, find out which is more stable in value.
Answer.
For shares X:
For shares Y:
Mean, \(\bar{x}\) = A + \(\frac{\sum y_{i}}{10}\)
= 105 + 0 = 105
S.D., σ = \(\frac{1}{N} \sqrt{N \sum y_{i}^{2}-\left(\sum y_{i}\right)^{2}}\)
= \(\frac{1}{10} \sqrt{10 \times 40-0}=\frac{20}{10}\)
= 0.2
Coefficient of variation (C.V.) = \(\frac{\sigma}{\bar{x}}\) × 100
= \(\frac{2}{105}\) × 100 = 1.9
Coefficient of variation in shares Y is less than the coefficient of variation in shares X.
Therefore, the share Y is more stable than the share X.
Question 3.
An analysis of monthly wages paid to workers in two firms A and B, belonging to the same industry, gives the following results:
(i) Which firm A or B pays larger amount as monthly wages?
(ii) Which firm, A or B, shows greater variability in individual wages?
Answer.
(i) Monthly wages of firm A = Rs. 5253
Number of wage earners in firm A = 586
∴ Total amount paid = Rs. 5253 × 586
Monthly wages of firm B = Rs. 5253
Number of wage earners in firm B = 648
∴ Total amount paid = Rs. 5253 × 648
Thus, firm B pays the larger amount as monthly wages as the number of wage earners in firm B are more than the number of wage earners in firm A.
(ii) Variance of the distribution of wages in firm A (σ12) = 100
∴ Standard deviation of the distribution of wages in firm
A(σ1) = √100 = 10
Variance of the distibution of wages in firm B(σ22) = 121
∴ Standard deviation of the distribution of wages in firm
B(σ2) = √121 = 11
The mean of monthly wages of both the firms is same i.e., 5253.
Therefore, the firm with greater standard deviation will have more varibility.
Thus, firm B has greater variability in the individual wages.
Question 4.
The following is the record of goals scored by team A in a football session:
For the team B, mean number of goals scored per match was 2 with a standard deviation 1.25 goals. Find which team may be considered more consistent?
Answer.
Make a table from the given data.
Here, Σfi = 25, Σfixi = 50 and Σ fi xi2 = 130
For team A:
Mean, \(\bar{x}\) = \(\frac{\sum f_{i} x_{i}}{\sum f_{i}}=\frac{50}{25}\) = 2
Standard deviation, σ = \(\frac{1}{N} \sqrt{N \sum f_{i} x_{i}^{2}-\left(\sum f_{i} x_{i}\right)^{2}}\)
= \(\frac{1}{25} \sqrt{25 \times 130-(50)^{2}}\)
= \(\frac{5}{25} \sqrt{130-100}=\frac{\sqrt{30}}{5}\)
= \(\frac{5.477}{5}\)
= 1.095
∴ Coefficient of variation = \(\frac{\sigma}{\bar{x}}\) × 100
= \(\frac{1.095}{2}\) × 100 = 54.75
For team B:
Given, Mean, \(\bar{x}\) = 2 and SD = σ = 1.25
= \(\frac{1.25}{2}\) × 100 = 625
Since, the coefficient of variation of goals of team A is less than that of B.
Therefore, team A is more consistent than team B.
Question 5.
The sum and sum of squares corresponding to length x (in cm) and weight y (in gm) of 50 plant products are given below:
\(\sum_{i=1}^{50} x_{i}\) = 212, \(\sum_{i=1}^{50} x_{i}^{2}\) = 902.8, \(\sum_{i=1}^{50} \mathbf{y}_{i}\) = 261 \(\sum_{i=1}^{50} y_{i}^{2}\) = 1457.6
which is more varying the length or weight?
Answer.
Given, \(\sum_{i=1}^{50} x_{i}\) = 212, \(\sum_{i=1}^{50} x_{i}^{2}\) = 902.8
Here, N = 50
∴ Mean, \(\bar{x}=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{50} x_{i}}{N}=\frac{212}{50}\) = 4.24
∴ Standard deviation, σ2 (Weight) = √1.89 = 1.37
∴ C.V. (Weight) = Standard deviation / Mean × 100
= \(\frac{1.37}{5.22}\) × 100 = 26.24
Thus, C. V. of weights is greater than the CV. of lengths.
Therefore, weights vary more than the lengths.
