Example 13 Two plants A and B of a factory show following results about the
number of workers and the wages paid to them.

In which plant, A or B is there greater variability in individual wages?

Example 14 Coefficient of variation of two distributions are 60 and 70, and


their standard deviations are 21 and 16, respectively. What are their arithmetic
means.
Example 15 The following values are calculated in respect of heights and
weights of the students of a section of Class XI :

Can we say that the weights show greater variation than the heights?

Example 16 The variance of 20 observations is 5. If each observation is


multiplied by 2, find the new variance of the resulting observations.

Example17 The mean of 5 observations is 4.4 and their variance is 8.24. If


three of the observations are 1, 2 and 6, find the other two observations.

Example 18 If each of the observation x1, x2, ...,xn is increased by ‘a’, where a
is a negative or positive number, show that the variance remains unchanged.

Example 19 The mean and standard deviation of 100 observations were


calculated as 40 and 5.1, respectively by a student who took by mistake 50
instead of 40 for one observation. What are the correct mean and standard
deviation?
