Exercise Page No: 278

Short Answer type:

1. Find the mean deviation about the mean of the distribution:

Size 20 21 22 23 24
Frequency 6 4 5 1 4

Solution:

Given data distribution

Now we have to find the mean deviation about the mean of the distribution

Construct a table of the given data

Size (xi) Frequency (fi) fixi
20 6 20 × 6 = 120
2 4 21 × 4 = 84
22 5 22 × 5 = 110
23 1 23 × 1 = 23
24 4 24 × 4 = 96
Total 20 433

We know that mean,
NCERT Exemplar Solutions for Class 11 Maths Chapter 15 - Image 1

To find the mean deviation, we have to construct another table

Size (xi) Frequency (fi) fixi di = |xi – mean| fidi
20 6 120 1.65 9.90
21 4 84 0.65 2.60
22 5 110 0.35 1.75
23 1 23 1.35 1.35
24 4 96 2.35 9.40
Total 20 433 6.35 25.00

Hence Mean Deviation becomes,

NCERT Exemplar Solutions for Class 11 Maths Chapter 15 - Image 2

Therefore, the mean deviation about the mean of the distribution is 1.25

2. Find the mean deviation about the median of the following distribution:

Marks obtained 10 11 12 14 15
No. of Students 2 3 8 3 4

Solution:

Given data distribution

Now we have to find the mean deviation about the median

Let us make a table of the given data and append other columns after the calculations

Marks Obtained (xi) Number of Students (fi) Cumulative Frequency (c. f)
10 2 2
11 3 2 + 3 = 5
12 8 5 + 8 = 13
14 3 13 + 3 = 16
15 4 16 + 4 = 20
Total 20

Now, here N=20, which is even.

Here median,

NCERT Exemplar Solutions for Class 11 Maths Chapter 15 - Image 3

So the above table with more columns is as shown below,

Marks Obtained Number of Students Cumulative Frequency di = |xi – M| fidi
10 2 2 2 4
11 3 2 + 3 = 5 1 3
12 8 5 + 8 = 13 0 0
14 3 13 + 3 = 16 2 6
15 4 16 + 4 = 20 3 12
Total 20 6.35 25

Hence Mean Deviation becomes,

NCERT Exemplar Solutions for Class 11 Maths Chapter 15 - Image 4

Therefore, the mean deviation about the median of the distribution is 1.25

F 2 1 1 1 1 1

Where A is a positive integer and has a variance of 160, determine the value of A.

Solution:

Given frequency distribution table, where variance =160

Now we have to find the value of A, where A is a positive number

Now we have to construct a table of the given data

2A 1 2A 4A2
3A 1 3A 9A2

3 9 27 81
4 16 64 256
5 14 70 350
6 11 6 396
7 6 42 294
Total 60 277 1393

And we know standard deviation is

11. There are 60 students in a class. The following is the frequency distribution of the marks obtained by the students in a test:

Marks 0 1 2 3 4 5
Frequency x – 2 x x2 (x + 1)2 2x x + 1

Where x is a positive integer. Determine the mean and standard deviation of the marks.

Solution:

Given there are 60 students in a class. The frequency distribution of the marks obtained by the students in a test is also given.

Now we have to find the mean and standard deviation of the marks.

It is given there are 60 students in the class, so

∑fi=60

⇒ (x – 2) + x + x2 + (x + 1)2 + 2x + x + 1 = 60

⇒ 5x – 1 + x2 + x2 + 2x + 1 = 60

⇒ 2x2 +7x = 60

⇒ 2x2 +7x – 60 = 0

Splitting the middle term, we get

⇒ 2x2 + 15x – 8x – 60 = 0

⇒ x (2x + 15) – 4(2x + 15) = 0

⇒ (2x + 15) (x – 4) = 0

⇒ 2x + 15 = 0 or x – 4 = 0

⇒ 2x = -15 or x = 4

Given x is a positive number, so x can take 4 as the only value.

And let assumed mean, a=3.

Now put x = 4 and a = 3 in the frequency distribution table and add other columns after calculations, we get

Marks (xi) Frequency (fi) di = xi – a fidi fidi2
0 x – 2 = 4 – 2 = 2 -3 -6 18
1 x = 4 -2 -8 16
2 x2 = 42 = 16 -1 -16 16
3 (x + 1)2 = 25 0 0 0
4 2x = 8 1 4 8
5 x + 1 = 5 2 10 20
Total 60 -12 78

And we know standard deviation is

12. The mean life of a sample of 60 bulbs was 650 hours, and the standard deviation was 8 hours. A second sample of 80 bulbs has a mean life of 660 hours and standard deviation 7 hours. Find the overall standard deviation.

Solution:

Given the mean life of a sample of 60 bulbs was 650 hours, and the standard deviation was 8 hours. A second sample of 80 bulbs has a mean life of 660 hours and standard deviation 7 hours

Now we have to find the overall standard deviation

As per given criteria, in first set of samples,

Number of sample bulbs, n1=60

Standard deviation, s1=8hrs

Solution:

Given for a distribution ∑ (x −5) = 3, ∑ (x −5)2 = 43 and the total number of item is 18

Now we have to find the mean and standard deviation.

As per given criteria,

Number of items, n=18

And given ∑(x – 5) = 3,

And also given, ∑(x −5)2 = 43

But we know mean can be written as,

16 – 20 2 2 36
total 25 230

Here mean,
NCERT Exemplar Solutions for Class 11 Maths Chapter 15 - Image 44

Now we have to find mean deviation

Class Interval Mid – Value (xi) Frequency (fi) fixi di=|xi – mean| fidi
0 – 4 2 4 8 7.2 28.8
4 – 8 6 6 36 3.2 19.2

12 – 16 5 5 70 1.8 24.4
16 – 20 2 2 36 8.8 17.6
total 25 230 96

Hence Mean Deviation becomes,
