Question 101. If the S.D of a set of observations is 4 and if each observation is divided by 4, the S.D of the new set of observations will be
  1.    4
  2.    3
  3.    2
  4.    1

Answer: Option D. -> 1
:
D
We know that if we multiply all numbers of a set by a constant "k" then the mean of these numbers will also be a multiple of the old mean.
And the variance of these numbers will be multiple of "k2".
Since standard deviation is nothing but the square root of variance, s.d will be multiple of "k" of the old standard deviation.
We are given the s.d was 4.
So after multiplying each observation by (1/4), the s.d will also be multiplied by (1/4), thus giving the value = 4.14 = 1
Question 102. Consider the frequency distribution of the given number
Value:1234Frequency:546f
​If the mean is known to be 3, then the value of f is
  1.    3
  2.    7
  3.    10
  4.    14

Mean=1×5+2×4+3×6+4×f15+f
i.e.,3=5+8+18+4f15+f45+3f=31+4f
4531=ff=14
Question 103. The S.D. of scores 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 is:

  2.    √3
  3.    25
  4.    35

xx¯x(x¯x2)124211300411524(x¯x)2=10
S.D=σ=(x¯x)N=105=2
Question 104. A school has four sections of chemistry in class XII having 40, 35, 45 and 42 students.  The mean marks obtained in chemistry test are 50, 60, 55 and 45 respectively for the four sections, the over all average of marks per students is
  1.    53
  2.    45
  3.    55.3
  4.    52.25
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 52.25
:
D
Total number of students =40+35+45+42=162
Total marks obtained
=(40×50)+(35×60)+(45×55)+(42×45)
=8465
Overall average of marks per students =8465162=52.25
Question 105. The coefficient of variation of two series are 58% and 69%.  If their standard deviations are 21.2 and 15.6, then their A.Ms are
  1.    36.6,22.6             
  2.    34.8, 22.6
  3.    36.6, 24.4
  4.    none of these

Answer: Option A. -> 36.6,22.6             
:
A
We know thatC.V =σ×100¯xor¯x=σc.v×100Mean of first series =21.2×10058=36.6Mean of second series =15.6×10069=22.6
