• Determine the range and the coefficient of
range of the following set of data: 65, 71, 42,
52, 50, 80, 60, 40, 56, 59.
Range = 80 – 40 = 40
coefficient of range = Xmax–Xmin/Xmax+Xmin
=Coefficient of range =80–40/80+40
=0.33
• Find the Variance and Standard Deviation of
the Following Numbers: 3, 5, 6, 10, 9, 10, 1, 3

The mean = (3 + 5 + 6 + 10 + 9 + 10 + 1 + 3)/8 = 46/ 8 = 5.75


• Step 1: Subtract the average from each individual data point
=(3 – 5.75), (5 – 5.75), (6 – 5.75), (9 – 5.75), (9 – 5.75), (10 – 5.75)(1
– 5.75), (3 – 5.75),
=-2.75, -0.75, 0.25, 3.25, 3.25, 4.25, -4.75, -2.75
• Step 2: Squaring the above values we get, 22.563, 7.563, 7.563,
0.563, 0.063, 10.563, 10.563, 18.063
• Step 3: 7.563 + 0.563 + 0.063 + 10.563 + 10.563 + 18.063 +
22.563 + 7.563
= 77.504
• Step 4: n = 8,
variance (σ2) = 77.504/ 8 = 9.688
Standard deviation (σ) = 3.112
7. Find the range and coefficient of range of the data set {8, 12,
5, 6, 8, 2,15}

Range is a measure of dispersion given by Highest


value (H) - Smallest value(S)
H = 15, S = 2
Range = 15 - 2 = 13
Coefficient of Range = (H - S) / (H + S)
= 13 / 17 = 0.76
Range = 13, Coefficient of Range = 0.76
