Statement 1: is correct because positional measure of dispersion describes about the position that a particular data value has within a data set.
Statement 2:is correct because quartiles and percentiles are positional measure of dispersion.

If $\sum\limits _{i = 1}^9 {\left( {{x _i} - 5} \right) = 9}$ and $\sum\limits _{i = 1}^9 {{{\left( {{x _i} - 5} \right)}^2}}  = 45$, then the standard deviation of the $9$ items ${x _1},{x _2},.....,{x _9}$ is

  1. $2$

  2. $3$

  3. $9$

  4. $4$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
S.D of $xi-5$ is

$\sigma =\sqrt{\dfrac{\sum _{i=1}^{9}(xi-5)^2}{9}-\left [ \dfrac{\sum _{i=1}^{9}(xi-5)^2}{9} \right ]^2}$

$\sigma =\sqrt{5-1}=2$

What are the advantages of squaring a difference for calculating variance and standard deviation?

  1. Squaring makes each term positive so that values above the mean do not cancel below the mean.

  2. Squaring adds more weight to the larger differences, and in many cases this extra weight is appropriate since points further from the mean may be more significant.

  3. It complicates the calculations

  4. All are incorrect


Correct Option: A,B
Explanation:

Since,

$\sigma _x=\sqrt{\cfrac{\sum (x _i-\bar x)^2}{N}}$
So, we can say that opion $A$ and $B$ are correct.

Standard deviation, Variance are computational measure of dispersion.

If the coefficient of variation and standard deviation of a distribution are 50% and 20 respectively, then its mean is

  1. 40

  2. 30

  3. 20

  4. none of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Given $\sigma = 20$, coefficient of variation $=50$ %
We know coefficient of variation $=\cfrac{\sigma }{\bar{x}}\times 100=50$
$\Rightarrow \bar{x} = 2\times \sigma = 40$

The sum of squares of deviations for $10$ observations taken from mean $50$ is $250 $. Then Co-efficient of variation is

  1. $10\%$

  2. $40\%$

  3. $50\%$

  4. None


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
$\sum(x-\overline{x})^2=250$, $\overline{x}=50$
$\Rightarrow$  Standard deviation $(\sigma)=\sqrt{\dfrac{250}{10}}=\sqrt{25}=5$
$\Rightarrow$  Coefficient of variation $=\sqrt{\dfrac{\sum(x-\overline{x})^2}{n}}$
                                             $=\dfrac{\sigma}{Mean}\times 100$

                                             $=\dfrac{5}{50}\times 100$

                                             $=10\%$

The Coefficient of Variation is given by:

  1. $\dfrac{Mean}{\ Standard \ \ deviation } \times 100$

  2. $\dfrac{\ Standard \ \ deviation }{Mean}$

  3. $\dfrac{Standard \ \ deviation }{Mean }\times 100$

  4. $\dfrac{Mean}{Standard \ Deviation}$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The coefficient of variation (CV) is a standardized measure of dispersion 

. It is defined as the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean.
$CV\quad =\quad \cfrac { \sigma  }{ Mean }\times100 $

If mean of a series is 40 and variance 1486, then coefficient of variation is 

  1. $0.9021$

  2. $0.9637$

  3. $0.8864$

  4. $0.9853$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

If mean of the given dist. be $\bar{x}$ and S.D be $\sigma $
then given $\bar{x} = 40, \sigma^2 = 1486$
$\therefore$ Coefficient of variation $=\cfrac{\sigma}{\bar{x}}=\cfrac{\sqrt{1486}}{40}=.9637$

If the coefficient of variation and standard deviation of a distribution are 50% and 20 respectively, the its mean is

  1. 40

  2. 30

  3. 20

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

We know if a distribution having mean $\bar{x}$ and standard deviation $\sigma$
then coefficient of variation $=\cfrac{\sigma}{\bar{x}}\times 100$
$\therefore \cfrac{20}{\bar{x}}\times 100=50\Rightarrow \bar{x} = 40$
Hence required mean is $=40$

The sum of the squares of deviation of 10 observations from their mean 50 is 250, then coefficient of varition is

  1. 10%

  2. 40%

  3. 50%

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Given $\displaystyle \Sigma \left ( x _{i}-\overline{x} \right )^{2}=250$,$n=10,\overline{x}=50$

Now, $\sigma=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{n}\Sigma \left ( x _{i}-\overline{x} \right )^{2}}$

$= \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{10}\times 250}=5$ 
Hence coefficient of variation $\displaystyle =\dfrac{\sigma }{\overline{x}}\times 100=\dfrac{5}{50}\times 100=10$%

The sum of the squares of deviation of 10 observations from their mean 50 is 250, then coefficient of variation is

  1. 10%

  2. 40%

  3. 50%

  4. none of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Given,   $\sum (x-\bar{x})^2 = 250, n = 10, \bar{x} =50$
Thus standard deviation $ = \sqrt{\cfrac{\sum (x-\bar{x})^2}{n}}=\sqrt{25}=5$
$\therefore$ Coefficient of variation $=\cfrac{\sigma}{\bar{x}}\times 100 =\cfrac{5}{50}\times 100$ % $= 10$%

The mean of a distribution is 4. If its coefficient of variation is 58%. Then the S.D. of the distribution is

  1. 2.23

  2. 3.23

  3. 2.32

  4. none of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Given,  mean $\bar{x} = 4,$ and coefficient of variation $=58$ %
If S.D of the given distribution is $\sigma$ then we know that,
Coefficient of variation $=\cfrac{\sigma}{\bar{x}}\times 100$ %
$\Rightarrow 58 = \cfrac{\sigma}{4}\times 100\Rightarrow \sigma = \cfrac{58\times 4}{100}=2.32$

For the given data, SD = 10, AM = 20, the coefficient
of variation is____

  1. 47

Explanation:

Coeffecient of variation $ = \frac {SD}{AM} \times 100 = \frac {10}{20} \times 100 = 50 $

For the given data, SD $= 10$, AM $= 20$ the coefficient of variation is ...........

  1. $47$

  2. $24$

  3. $44$

  4. $50$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Coefficient of variation is the ratio of standard deviation to the mean.


Given that $SD=10$ and $AM=20$

Therefore of coefficient of variation is $\dfrac{SD}{AM}\times100=\dfrac{10}{20}\times100=50\%$

The mean of a distribution is $14$ and standard deviation is $5$. What is the value of the coefficient of variation?

  1. $57.7\%$

  2. $45.7\%$

  3. $35.7\%$

  4. None of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Coefficient of variation is given by $CV = \dfrac{SD}{Mean}\times 100 $
$\Rightarrow \dfrac{5}{14}\times 100 = 35.7\%$

If the standard deviation of a set of scores is $1.2$ and their mean is $10$, then the coefficient of variation of the scores is

  1. $12$

  2. $0.12$

  3. $20$

  4. $120$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Given : standard deviation$(\sigma)=1.2,$ mean$(\overline {X})=10$.

Coefficient of variation(C.V.) $=\dfrac{\sigma}{\overline {X}}\times 100=\dfrac{1.2}{10}\times 100=12$
$\therefore$ C.V. $=12$
Hence, option $A$ is correct.

If $n=10, \bar{x}=12$ and $\sum x^2=1530$, then calculate the coefficient of variation.

  1. $20$

  2. $25$

  3. $30$

  4. $35$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

$\sigma=\sqrt{\dfrac{\sum x^2}{n}-\left(\dfrac{\sum x}{n}\right)^2}$

   
   $=\sqrt{\dfrac{1530}{10}-(12)^2}$

   $=\sqrt{153-144}$
   $=\sqrt{9}$
   $=3$

Coefficient of variation $=\dfrac{\sigma}{\overline{x}}\times 100$

                                       $=\dfrac{3}{12}\times 100$

                                       $=\dfrac{1}{4}\times 100$
                                       $=25$

Coefficient of deviation is calculated by the formula:

  1. $\cfrac { \bar { X } }{ \sigma } \times 100$

  2. $\cfrac { \bar { X } }{ \sigma }$

  3. $\cfrac { \sigma } {\bar { X }} \times 100$

  4. $\cfrac{ \sigma } { \bar { X }}$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

It is a fundamental concept.
coefficient of deviation $=\cfrac{\sigma}{\bar{x}}\times 100$
where $\sigma$ and $\bar{x}$ are standard deviation and mean respectively.

For a symmetrical distribution lower quartitl is 20 and upper quartile is 40.The value of 50th percentile is

  1. 20

  2. 40

  3. 30

  4. none of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

First quartile also called the lower quartile or the 25th percentile(splits off the lowest 25% of data from the highest 75%)
Second quartile also called the median or the 50th percentile (cuts data set in half)
Third quartile  also called the upper quartile or the 75th percentile (splits off the highest 25% of data from the lowest 75%)
Since its a symmetrical distribution therefore the median will be 30

The range of the data

$\therefore$Range of the data=$32-6=24$

The difference between the maximum and the minimum observation in the data is

  1. class interval

  2. frequency

  3. cumulative frequency

  4. range


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Range =maximum value-minimum value

Hence range is the difference between the maximum and the minimum  observation.

The formula for the coefficient of range is $\dfrac{\text{Range}}{a+b}$. Here, $a$ and $b$ denote:

  1. the mean and median of the data set

  2. the maximum and the minimum value of the data set

  3. the mean and mode value of the data set

  4. the minimum and mean value of the data set


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Range is the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the data set.


Let $a$ be the maximum value of the data set and
$b$ be the minimum value of the data set

Therefore, $range = a-b$

Coefficient of range is the relative measure of the dispersion.

It is given by $\text{coefficient of range}=\dfrac{a-b}{a+b}=\dfrac{range}{a+b}$

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

  1. $3.38$kg.

  2. $2.38$kg.

  3. $6.38$kg.

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$\Rightarrow$  Here, $L=3.84$ and $R=0.46$

$\Rightarrow$  $R=L-S$
  $0.46=3.84-S$
  $S=3.84-0.46$
$\therefore$  $S=3.38\,kg$
$\therefore$   Smallest measurement is $3.38\,kg$

The ________ is the difference between the greatest and the least value of the variate.

The mean deviation from the median is _________ that measured from any other value.

  1. equal to 

  2. less than

  3. greater than

  4. None of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The value of the mean deviation is minimum if the deviations are taken from the median. So, it is less than that measured from any other value.

A series drawback of the mean deviation is that it cannot be used in statistical inference.

The difference between the maximum and the minimum obervations in data is called the ____________.

  1. mean of the data

  2. range of the data

  3. mode of the data

  4. median of the data


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In arithmetic, the range of a set of data is the difference between the largest and smallest values.

So, difference between minimum and maximum values is called range.

For the measure of centre tendency, which the following is not true.

  1. $Z=3M-2\bar{x}$

  2. $2\bar{x}+Z=3M$

  3. $2\bar{x}-3M=-Z$

  4. $2\bar{x}=Z-3M$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

We have, $Z=3M-2\bar{x}$
$\therefore 2\bar{x}+Z=3M$
or $2\bar{x}-3M=-Z$

$2\bar{x}=-Z+3M$
$\therefore 2\bar{x}=Z-3M $ is not true

  2. $\dfrac{1}{3}$

  3. $\dfrac{3}{5}$

  4. $\dfrac{1}{2}$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
${ x _{ m } }=10{ x _{ 0 } }=2$
coefficient of range 
$\begin{array}{l} =\frac { { { x _{ m } }-{ x _{ 0 } } } }{ { { x _{ m } }t{ x _{ 0 } } } }  \\ =\frac { { 10-2 } }{ { 10+2 } } =\frac { 8 }{ { 12 } } =\frac { 2 }{ 3 }  \end{array}$

The highest score of a certain data exceeds in lowest score by $16$ and coefficient of range is $\cfrac{1}{3}$. The sum of the highest score and the lowest score is

  1. $36$

  2. $48$

  3. $24$

  4. $18$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Let the highest score be $x _{m}$ and 

the lowest score be $x _{0}$
Given that highest score exceeds lowest score by $16$
$\implies x _m=x _0+16\implies x _m-x _0=16$ ————(1)

Coefficient of range is given by $\dfrac{x _m-x _0}{x _m+x _0}$

Given that coefficient of range is $\dfrac 13$

$\implies \dfrac{x _m-x _0}{x _m+x _0}=\dfrac 13$ ———(2)

Substitute (1) in (2) we get

$\dfrac{16}{x _m+x _0}=\dfrac 13$

$\implies x _m+x _0=16\times3=48$

Therefore sum of the highest score and lowest score is $48$

  4. $ \displaystyle l _{1}+\frac{\frac{10N}{8}-C}{f }\left ( l _{2}-l _{1} \right )$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A decile is any of the nine values that divide the sorted data into ten equal parts, so that each part represents 1/10 of the sample or population.
For a continuous distribution, the formula for $r^{th}$ decile is given by $D _r = l _1 + \frac{\frac{rN}{10} - C}{f} \times (l _2 - l _1)$
Substituting r = 8, we have 
$D _8 = l _1 + \frac{\frac{8N}{10} - C}{f} \times (l _2 - l _1)$

Coefficient of data $=\dfrac{59-23}{59+23}=\dfrac{36}{82}=0.49\approx 0.44$

If the standard deviation of $x _{1},x _{2},.....x _{n}$ is 3.5, then the standard deviatiuon of $-2x _{1}-3,-2x _{2}-3....,-2x _{n}-3$ is

  1. -7

  2. -4

  3. 7

  4. 1.75


Correct Option: C

If $\sigma$ $f _i$ $x _i$  = 20 and $\sigma$ $f _i$ = 4, what is the mean of the data.

  1. $\dfrac{1}{5}$

  2. $80$

  3. $16$

  4. $5$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
$\sigma fixi=20$
and $\sigma fi=4$

Hence, Mean $=\dfrac{\sigma fi}{\sigma fixi}=\dfrac{4}{20}=\dfrac{1}{5}$

Hence Option $A$ is correct

The variance of the data $6,\ 8,\ 10,\ 12\,,14\,,\ 16,\ 18,\ 20,\ 22,\ 24$ is

  1. $15$

  2. $20$

  3. $30$

  4. $33$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
Mistake :$14$ is not given
Mean $\bar x=\dfrac{6+8+10+12+14+16+18+20+22+24}{10}=\dfrac{150}{10}=15$
Variance$=\dfrac{1}{n} \sum\limits _{i=1}^n(x _{i}-\bar x)^2$
$\implies \dfrac{1}{10}((6-15)^2+(8-15)^2+(10-15)^2+(12-15)^2+(14-15)^{2}+(16-15)^2+(18-15)^2+(20-15)^2$
$+(22-15)^2+(24-15)^2$

$\implies \dfrac{81+49+25+9+1+1+9+25+49+81}{10}$

$\implies \dfrac{330}{10}=33$

The variate x and u are related by $\displaystyle u= \frac{x-a}{h}$ then correct relation between $\displaystyle \sigma _{x}:and:\sigma _{u}$

  1. $\displaystyle \sigma _{x}= h\sigma _{u}$

  2. $\displaystyle \sigma _{x}= h+\sigma _{u}$

  3. $\displaystyle \sigma _{u}= h\sigma _{x}$

  4. $\displaystyle \sigma _{u}= h+\sigma _{x}$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Given $\displaystyle u =\frac{x}{h}-\frac{a}{h}$
Since,S.D. is not depend on change of origin but it is depend on change of scale.
$\displaystyle \therefore \sigma _{u}=\frac{\sigma _{x}}{h}$
$\Rightarrow h\sigma _{u}=\sigma _{x}$

Standard deviation of a collection of data is $2\sqrt{2}$. If each value in a data set  is multipled by $3$, then the standard deviation of the new data is.

  1. $\sqrt{12}$

  2. $4\sqrt{2}$

  3. $6\sqrt{2}$

  4. $9\sqrt{2}$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
The standard deviation would also be multiplied by $3$.
Because the mean would also be $3x$ larger, the differences from the mean would be $3x$ larger too.
It is the same idea as if you were looking at your data set through an enlarging lens- everything would be $3x$ bigger, not only the data values, but also the mean, the differences from the mean, but just everything!
$\therefore$ the standard deviation becomes $2\sqrt{2}\times 3=6\sqrt{2}$

If the standard deviation of $x _1, x _2, .., x _n$ is $3.5$, then the standard deviation of $-2x _1-3, -2x _2-3$,....., -2x_n-3$ is?

  1. $-7$

  2. $-4$

  3. $7$

  4. $1.75$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
The Standard Deviation of a set remains unchanged if each data is increased or decreased by a constant however changes similarly when data is multiplied or divided by a constant.
$\therefore $ The SD for the new data set will be $=-2\times 3.5=-7$

Consider the following statements.Which of these is/are correct?

  1. Mode can be computed from histogram

  2. Median is not independent of change of scale

  3. Variance is independent of change of origin and scale

  4. none of these


Correct Option: A,B
Explanation:

If we change scale by using x + h then median increases by h.
so median is not independent of change of scale.
From histogram we can see highest frequency so made.
Hence, options 'A' and 'B' are correct.
