    This document contains calculations and summaries of data related to variance, standard deviation, frequency distributions, and a chi-square test. It calculates the variance and standard deviation of hourly wage data. It summarizes frequency data using measures of central tendency including the mean, mode, and class midpoints. It performs a chi-square test to analyze the distribution of suicides and fails to reject the null hypothesis that the observed numbers do not differ significantly from an equal number each year.

    1) Variance =S2

    S2 =∑(x-x)2/n-1

    X=∑x/n-1

    =27+25+20+10+12+14+17+19/8-1

    =144/7

    =20.5

    Now to find variance hourly wages

    Hourly wages (x-x) (x-x)2


    27 9 81
    25 7 49
    20 2 4
    10 -8 64
    12 -6 36
    14 -4 16
    17 -1 1
    19 -1 1
    144 252

    Now ∑(x-x)2=252

    Therefore variance is calculated as

    S2 =∑(X-x)2/n-1

    252/7

    =36

    1b) Standard Deviation =s=∑(x-x)2/n

    S= S2

    =36

    =6

    2) Class Width =47-1/6

    =7,67

    =8

    Class frequency
    Class Frequency
    0-8 16
    9-17 22
    18-26 10
    27-35 5
    36-44 4
    45-53 3

    B) MEAN= M =∑MF/N

    CLASS FREQUENCY MIDPOINT MF

    0-8 16 4 64
    9-17 22 13 286
    18-26 10 22 220
    27-35 5 31 155
    36-44 4 40 160
    44-53 3 49 147
    1032

    M= 1032/60 = 17.2

    MODE=1+(FI-FO/2FI-FO-F2)X2

    = 9+(22-16/2(22)-16-10)X8

    =9=(6/18)X8

    =11,67

    YEAR O Ei (oi-Ei) (oi-Ei/Ei)2 (oi-e)2/E1


    1978 164 146,4 17,6 309.76 2.116

    1980 153 146,4 6,6 43.56 0.298
    1981 171 146,4 24,6 605.16 0.298
    1982 171 146,4 24,6 605.16 4.134
    1983 148 146,4 1,6 2.56 4.134
    1984 136 146,4 -10.4 108.16 0.017
    1985 133 146,4 -13.4 179.56 1.227
    1986 138 146,4 -8.4 70.56 0.482
    1987 132 146,4 -14.4 207.36 1.416
    1988 145 146,4 -1.4 1.96 0.013
    1989 124 146,4 -22.4 501.76 3.427

    X2 =18.135

    X2 critical value for chi square table 5% level of significant and 11 degrees of freedom is 19.675

    Since x2 <19.675 we fail to reject H 0 and conclude that at 5% level is significant the distribution of
    the observed number of suicides for each year does not differ significantly from an equal number of
    suicides each year
