1.

For a set of 250 observations on a certain variable X the mean O and standard deviation are
respectively 6 5.7 and 4.4. For on scrutinising the data it’s found that two observations which
would correctly read as 71 and 83 had been wrongly recorded as 91 and 80 obtain the current
values of mean and standard deviation.
2. A person was asked to calculate the mean and standard deviation of 50 observations. He
noticed that 4 of the 50 observations were zeros. Hence ignored them and calculated the mean
and standard deviation of remaining 46 observations as 42.96 and 13.88. find the correct
value of the mean and SD of the 50 observations.
3. Take a random sample of your choice. Increase its maximum by 1 and minimum by 1 then
check whether different measures of dispersion are changing or not.
4. Two groups of students obtained the following marks in an examination
group 1: 67,74,74,88,85,59,61
group 2: 84, 85, 81, 87, 76, 75, 74, 16
Q1. Find the variance of the combined group and compare the same with the individual group
variance.
Q2. Find the relative dispersion of these two groups and comment about their consistency.
5. The following frequency distribution provides information about wages of labourers. Struck
the frequency histogram. The coefficient of skewness. Find the coefficient of kurtosis and
comment.

6. Find the quartiles, quartile deviation and measure of relative dispersion from the following
data.
7.

8.
9. Suppose, two groups of students obtained the following marks in an examination out of 100:
Group A: 80, 85, 73, 67, 89, 95, 97,
Group B: 65, 67,89,78,79,71,61,69.
(I) Find the mean of the combined group.
(II) Calculate the mean squared deviation of the individual groups from the pooled mean.
(III) Compare the individual group variances with the aforesaid Mean Squared Deviation.
