## T.R. Jain and V.K. Ohri Solutions for Class 11 Statistics for Economics Chapter 11 – Measures of Dispersion

### Question 1

Find the interquartile range, quartile deviation and coefficient of quartile deviation from the following data:

 Marks 28 18 20 24 27 30 15

Solution:

Firstly, arrange the data in the ascending order:

 S.No. Marks 1 15 2 18 3 20 4 24 5 27 6 28 7 30 N = 7

Q1 = $Size \, of\left (\frac{N+1}{4}\right)th \, item\, = Size \, of\, \left (\frac{7+1}{4}\right)th\, item$

= Size of 2nd item = 18 marks

Q3 = $Size\, of\,3\left(\frac{N+1}{4}\right)th\, item = Size\, of\,3\left(\frac{7+1}{4}\right)th\, item$

= Size of 6th item = 28 marks

Interquartile range = Q3 – Q1 = 28-18 = 10

$Quartile\, Deviation=\frac{Q3-Q1}{2}=\frac{28-18}{2}=5$ $Coefficient \, of \, Quartile \, Deviation = \frac{Q3-Q1}{Q3+Q1}=\frac{28-18}{28+18}=\frac{10}{46}=0.217$

### Question 2

What are the methods of Standard Deviation?

Solution:

The two standard methods of deviation are:

• Direct method
• Short-cut method

### Question 3

Define Dispersion.

Solution:

Dispersion is the measure of the extent to which the different items tend to disperse away from the central tendency.
