N = 49


Lower Quartile: 
We have $\displaystyle\frac{N}{4} = \displaystyle\frac{49}{4} = 12.25$
The cumulative frequency just greater than $\displaystyle\frac{N}{4}$ is $26$ and the corresponding value of the variable is $61$
$\therefore\quad Q _1 = Rs.\space 61$

Middle Quartile (median): 
We have $\displaystyle\frac{N}{2} = \displaystyle\frac{49}{2} = 24.5$
The cumulative frequency just greater than $\displaystyle\frac{N}{2}$ is $26$ and the corresponding value of the variable is $61$
$\therefore\quad Q _2 = Rs.\space 61$

Upper Quartile:
We have $\displaystyle\frac{3N}{4} = \displaystyle\frac{3\times49}{4} = 36.75$
The cumulative frequency just greater than $\displaystyle\frac{3N}{4}$ is $41$ and the corresponding value of the variable is $63$

${ Q } _{ 1 }=$ Size of $\displaystyle\frac { N+1 }{ 4 } th=3.25th$ item
$=$ size of $3rd$ item $+0.25$(size of $4th$ item)$-$(size of $3rd$ item)
$=151+0.25(151-151)=$Rs.$151$
${ Q } _{ 3 }=$ Size of $\displaystyle\frac { 3(N+1) }{ 4 } th=9.75th$ item
$=$ size of $9th$ item $+0.75$(size of $10th$ item)$-$(size of $9th$ item)
$=162+0.75(162-162)=$Rs.$162$
$\therefore$ Quartile Deviation $\displaystyle=\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \left( { Q } _{ 3 }-{ Q } _{ 1 } \right) =\frac { 11 }{ 2 } =$Rs.$5.5$

40 132 196
50 153 349
60 140 489
70 51 540
81 3 543
N $= $543

Lower Quartile: We have, $\displaystyle\frac{N}{4} = \displaystyle\frac{543}{4} = 135.75$
Cumulative frequency just greater than $N/4$ is $196$ and the corresponding value of the variable is $40$.
$\therefore\quad Q _1 = $ Lower Quartile = $40$ years
Middle Quartile (Medium):
We have, $\displaystyle\frac{N}{2} = \displaystyle\frac{543}{2} = 271.5$
Cumulative frequency just greater than $N/2$ is $349$ and the corresponding value of the variable is $50$.
$\therefore\quad Q _2 = $ Middle quartile = $50$ years
Upper Quartile:
We have $\displaystyle\frac{3N}{4} = \displaystyle\frac{3\times543}{4} = 407.25$
Cumulative frequency just greater than $407.25$ is $489$ and the corresponding value of the variable is $60$.
$\therefore\quad Q _3= $ Upper quartile  $=60$ years
$\therefore\quad Q _1 + Q _3 - Q _2 = 40+60-50 = 50 = Q _2$

If the lower and upper quartiles of a data are $4$ and $12$, then the quartile deviation is ____

  1. $2$

  2. $4$

  3. $6$

  4. $8$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Quartile deviation is the half of the inter quartile deviation.

Inter quartile deviation is the difference between upper quartile and lower quartile.

Given that, lower quartile is $4$ and upper quartile is $12$

Therefore, Quartile deivation is $\dfrac{\text{upper quartile - lower quartile}}{2}$

$\implies \text{quartile deviation} =\dfrac{12-4}2=\dfrac 82 =4$

  2. $13$

  3. $12$

  4. $11.5$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Given series of numbers is already arranged in ascending order.
Thus median is the centre value $ = 20 $
First Quartile $ {Q} _{1} $ will be the mid value of the observations to the left of $ 20 $ which is $ 9 $. 
Similarly, Third Quartile $ {Q} _{3} $ will be the mid value of the observations to the right of $ 20 $ which is $ 34 $.
And Quartile deviation will be $ \dfrac {{Q} _{3} - {Q} _{1}}{2} = \dfrac {34-9}{2} = \dfrac {25}{2} = 12.5 $.

For a series the value of mean deviation is 15.The most likely value of its quartile deviation is 

  1. 12.5

  2. 11.6

  3. 13

  4. 9.7


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

use:  M.D.$=\displaystyle \frac{4}{4}\sigma ,Q.D=\frac{2}{3}\sigma $ $\displaystyle \Rightarrow \frac{M.D.}{Q.D}=\frac{6}{5}\Rightarrow Q.D.=\frac{5}{6}\left ( M.D. \right )$


$MD=\frac { 4 }{ 5 } \times \sigma \quad ,\quad QD=\frac { 2 }{ 3 } \times \sigma \quad ,\quad \ \frac { MD }{ QD } =\frac { 6 }{ 5 } ,\quad QD\quad =\quad \frac { 5\times 15 }{ 6 } =12.5$

Measure of dispersion is a statistical method to find a specific value from a dispersed series where the extent to which various values of the series tend to disperse from each other or from the average is measured. So all the measures of dispersion from range to standard deviation has positive value. 

Which measure of dispersion is most affected by extreme values?

  1. Standard deviation

  2. Mean deviation

  3. Range

  4. Quartile deviation


Correct Option: C

Range = H - L 
In the given series, H= 34 and L+ 10 
Range = 34-10 = 24.
Coefficient of range is found by dividing the range with the sum of highest and lowest value of the series. 
Coefficient of range (CR) = R/ (H+L) 
                                          =24 / (34+10) 
                                          = 24/ 44 = 0.55

Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Quartile deviation divides the series into four equal parts and measures the distance average between the third and the first quartile. The first quartile is denoted as Q1 and the third quartile is denoted as Q3 .

The coefficient of quartile deviation is found by dividing the difference between the first quartile and the third quartile by the sum between the first quartile and the third quartile.

In the given series, 10, 15,17,18,20,22,25,28,29,32,34. 

Q1= 17 and Q3=29 

Coefficient of quartile deviation =(Q3-Q1)/ (Q3+Q1)

Which measure of dispersion is least affected by extreme values?

  1. Range

  2. Mean deviation

  3. Standard deviation

  4. Quartile deviation


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Quartile deviation divides the series into four equal parts and measures the distance average between the third and the first quartile. The first quartile is denoted as Q1 and the third quartile is denoted as Q3 . Therefore, quartile deviation is not affected by the extreme values of the series. 

Sum of squares of the deviations is minimum when deviations are taken from ________.

  1. mean

  2. median

  3. mode

  4. zero


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Mean deviation is the arithmetic average of the deviations of the observed values from an  average of the observed values. 
Mean deviation from the mean calculates the arithmetic average of the deviations of the observed values from mean of the observed values. Sum of the squares of the deviations is minimum when deviations are taken from mean as mean is the arithmetic average of the series and disperse the whole series into individual minimum value therefore the sum of their squares is minimum. 

The quartile deviation from the following observations is

Quartile deviation divides the series into four equal parts and measures the distance average between the third and the first quartile. The first quartile is denoted as Q1 and the third quartile is denoted as Q3 .

In the given series, 10, 15,17,18,20,22,25,28,29,32,34 

Q1= 17 and Q3=29

Therefore, Quartile deviation = (Q3-Q1) /2

                                                 = (29-17)/2

                                                  = 12/2

                                                  = 6

  4. 56


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Range is defined as the difference between the highest(or largest ) and lowest(or smallest) observed value in a series. It is the most simple and commonly understandable measures of dispersion. Therefore, it is the most affected measures of dispersion by the extreme values of the series. 

Range = H - L 

In the given series, H= 67 and L= 12 

Range = 67 -12 = 55 .

If the minimum value in a set is $15$ and its range is $55$, the maximum value of the set is _______.

  1. $40$

  2. $60$

Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Range is defined as the difference between the highest(or largest ) and lowest(or smallest) observed value in a series. It is the most simple and commonly understandable measures of dispersion.

Range = 55

In the given series, H= x and L= 15

Range => x-15 = 55

            => x = 55+15 = 70

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Range is defined as the difference between the highest(or largest ) and lowest(or smallest) observed value in a series. It is the most simple and commonly understandable measures of dispersion. 

Range = 60 

In the given series, H= 80 and L= x 

Range => 80-x = 60

Which measure of dispersion can be calculated in case of open end intervals?

  1. Range

  2. Standard deviation

  3. Quartile deviation
