Important Questions from Measures Of Dispersion

1multiple choice
3 marks

A series has X values 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13. What is the standard deviation by actual mean method?

Show answer

2.83

Mean = 9. Deviations are -4, -2, 0, 2, 4. Squares are 16, 4, 0, 4, 16. Sum of squares = 40. SD = √(40/5) = √8 = 2.83.

Using step deviation, values 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 with frequencies 3, 5, 7, 9, 8, 5, 3 and A = 40, C = 10 give what standard deviation?

Show answer

16.5

Step deviation values are -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3. Compute Σfd' = 1 and Σfd'² = 109, N = 40. SD = √[109/40 - (1/40)²] × 10 ≈ 16.5.

Two groups have the same mean 53. Group 1 has N = 40 and SD = 19. Group 2 has N = 50 and SD = 8. What is the combined standard deviation?

Show answer

14

Since both means are 53, D1 = 0 and D2 = 0. Combined SD = √[(40×19² + 50×8²) / 90] = √(17640/90) = √196 = 14.

4multiple choice

The values 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 have mean 9. What is the variance?

Show answer

18

Deviations from mean are -6, -3, 0, 3, 6. Squares sum to 90. Variance = average squared deviation = 90/5 = 18.
