The mean and standard deviation of marks obtained by $50$ students of a class in three subjects, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry are given below:
Subject | Mathematics | Physics | Chemistty |
Mean | $42$ | $32$ | $40.9$ |
Standard deviation | $12$ | $15$ | $20$ |
Which of the three subjects shows the highest variability in marks and which shows the lowest?
Standard deviation of Mathematics $=12$
Standard deviation of Physics $=15$
Standard deviation of Chemistry $=20$
The coefficient of variation $( C.V. )$ is given by $\frac{\text { Standard deviation }}{\text { Mean }} \times 100$
$C.V.$ (in Mathematics) $=\frac{12}{42} \times 100=28.57$
$C.V.$ (in Physics) $=\frac{15}{32} \times 100=46.87$
$C.V.$ (in Chemistry) $=\frac{20}{40.9} \times 100=48.89$
The subject with greater $C.V.$ is more variable than others.
Therefore, the highest variability in marks is in Chemistry and the lowest variability in marks is in Mathematics.
Let $n \geq 3$. A list of numbers $0 < x_1 < x_2 < \ldots < x_n$ has mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$. A new list of numbers is made as follows: $y_1=0, y_2=x_2, \ldots, x_{n-1}$ $=x_n-1, y_n=x_1+x_n$. The mean and the standard deviation of the new list are $\hat{\mu}$ and $\hat{\sigma}$. Which of the following is necessarily true?
The mean and standard deviation of $20$ observations are found to be $10$ and $2$ respectively. On rechecking, it was found that an observation $8$ was incorrect. Calculate the correct mean and standard deviation in each of the following cases:
If it is replaced by $12$
From a lot of $12$ items containing $3$ defectives, a sample of $5$ items is drawn at random. Let the random variable $\mathrm{X}$ denote the number of defective items in the sample. Let items in the sample be drawn one by one without replacement. If variance of $X$ is $\frac{m}{n}$, where $\operatorname{gcd}(m, n)=1$, then $n-m$ is equal to..........
Determine mean and standard deviation of first n terms of an $A.P.$ whose first term is a and common difference is d.
