Question 21.


If the coefficient of variation and standard deviation of a distribution are 2 and 0.4 respectively, then mean of the distribution is


  1.     40
  2.     20
  3.     10
  4.     8

Question 22.


The mean of 10 numbers is 12.5; the mean of the first six is 15 and the last five is 10. The sixth number is


  1.     15
  2.     12
  3.     18
  4.     none of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 15
:
A

Let the mean of the last four be A2
Then by the formula for combined mean,
12.5=6×15+4×A26+4;or 125=90+4 A2;
  A2=354 
Let the sixth number = x; then taking the sixth number as a collection, the combined mean of this collection and the collection of the last five is 10, by question. 
By definition of combined mean
10=1×x+4×3541+4;50=x+35;    x=15 
sixth number = 15


Question 23.


The means of five observations is 4 and their variance is 5.2. If three of these observations are 1, 2, and 6, then the other two are:


  1.     2 and 9
  2.     3 and 8
  3.     4 and 7
  4.     5 and 6

Answer: Option C. -> 4 and 7
:
C

¯x=4,N=5 and (x¯x2)N=5.2 (x¯x)2=(5.2)5  (x¯x)2=26   (14)2+(24)2+(64)2+(α4)2+(β4)2=26   (α4)2+(β4)2=9Also, 1+2+6+α+β5=4    α+β=209=11Clearly 4, 7 only satisfy the above equation in α,β.Hence required numbers are 4, 7.


Question 24.


Mean deviation of the series a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 2nd from its mean is


  1.     (n+1)d(2n+1)
  2.     (nd)(2n+1)
  3.     n(n+1)d(2n+1)
  4.     2(n+1)dn(n+1)

Question 25.


The A.M. of a set of 50 numbers is 38. If two numbers of the set, namely 55 and 45 are discarded, the A.M. of the remaining set of numbers is


  1.     36
  2.     36.5
  3.     37.5
  4.     38.5

Question 26.


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
 Discuss Question
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 27.


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
