First, we have to find (xÌ…) of the given data.

NCERT Soluitons for Class 11 Maths Chapter 15 Statistics Image 1

So, the respective values of the deviations from mean,

i.e., xi – x̅ are, 10 – 4 = 6, 10 – 7 = 3, 10 – 8 = 2, 10 – 9 = 1, 10 – 10 = 0,

10 – 12 = – 2, 10 – 13 = – 3, 10 – 17 = – 7

6, 3, 2, 1, 0, -2, -3, -7

Now, absolute values of the deviations,

6, 3, 2, 1, 0, 2, 3, 7

NCERT Soluitons for Class 11 Maths Chapter 15 Statistics Image 2

MD = sum of deviations/ number of observations

= 24/8

= 3

So, the mean deviation for the given data is 3.

2. 38, 70, 48, 40, 42, 55, 63, 46, 54, 44

Solution:-

First, we have to find (xÌ…) of the given data.

NCERT Soluitons for Class 11 Maths Chapter 15 Statistics Image 3

So, the respective values of the deviations from mean,

i.e., xi – x̅ are, 50 – 38 = -12, 50 -70 = -20, 50 – 48 = 2, 50 – 40 = 10, 50 – 42 = 8,

50 – 55 = – 5, 50 – 63 = – 13, 50 – 46 = 4, 50 – 54 = -4, 50 – 44 = 6

-12, 20, -2, -10, -8, 5, 13, -4, 4, -6

Now, absolute values of the deviations,

12, 20, 2, 10, 8, 5, 13, 4, 4, 6

= 8.4

So, the mean deviation for the given data is 8.4.

Find the mean deviation about the median for the data in Exercises 3 and 4.

3. 13, 17, 16, 14, 11, 13, 10, 16, 11, 18, 12, 17

Solution:-

First, we have to arrange the given observations into ascending order.

10, 11, 11, 12, 13, 13, 14, 16, 16, 17, 17, 18.

The number of observations is 12.

Then,

Median = ((12/2)th observation + ((12/2)+ 1)th observation)/2

(12/2)th observation = 6th = 13

(12/2)+ 1)th observation = 6 + 1

= 7th = 14

Median = (13 + 14)/2

= 27/2

= 13.5

So, the absolute values of the respective deviations from the median, i.e., |xi – M| are

3.5, 2.5, 2.5, 1.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 2.5, 2.5, 3.5, 3.5, 4.5

Mean Deviation

NCERT Soluitons for Class 11 Maths Chapter 15 Statistics Image 6

= (1/12) × 28

= 2.33

So, the mean deviation about the median for the given data is 2.33.

4. 36, 72, 46, 42, 60, 45, 53, 46, 51, 49

Solution:-

First, we have to arrange the given observations into ascending order.

36, 42, 45, 46, 46, 49, 51, 53, 60, 72.

The number of observations is 10.

Then,

Median = ((10/2)th observation + ((10/2)+ 1)th observation)/2

(10/2)th observation = 5th = 46

(10/2)+ 1)th observation = 5 + 1

= 6th = 49

Median = (46 + 49)/2

= 95

= 47.5

So, the absolute values of the respective deviations from the median, i.e., |xi – M| are

11.5, 5.5, 2.5, 1.5, 1.5, 1.5, 3.5, 5.5, 12.5, 24.5

Find the mean deviation about the median for the data in Exercises 7 and 8.

7.

xi 5 7 9 10 12 15
fi 8 6 2 2 2 6

Solution:-

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

Xi fi c.f. |xi – M| fi |xi – M|
5 8 8 2 16
7 6 14 0 0
9 2 16 2 4
10 2 18 3 6
12 2 20 5 10
15 6 26 8 48

Now, N = 26, which is even.

Median is the mean of the 13th and 14th observations. Both of these observations lie in the cumulative frequency of 14, for which the corresponding observation is 7.

Then,

Median = (13th observation + 14th observation)/2

= (7 + 7)/2

= 14/2

= 7

So, the absolute values of the respective deviations from the median, i.e., |xi – M| are shown in the table.

8.

xi 15 21 27 30 35
fi 3 5 6 7 8

Solution:-

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

Xi fi c.f. |xi – M| fi |xi – M|
15 3 3 15 45
21 5 8 9 45
27 6 14 3 18
30 7 21 0 0
35 8 29 5 40

Now, N = 29, which is odd.

So, 29/2 = 14.5

The cumulative frequency greater than 14.5 is 21, for which the corresponding observation is 30.

Then,

Median = (15th observation + 16th observation)/2

= (30 + 30)/2

= 60/2

= 30

So, the absolute values of the respective deviations from the median, i.e., |xi – M| are shown in the table.

50 – 60 2 50 55 27.15 54.3
50 517.1

The class interval containing Nth/2 or 25th item is 20-30.

So, 20-30 is the median class.

Then,

Median = l + (((N/2) – c)/f) × h

Where, l = 20, c = 14, f = 14, h = 10 and n = 50

Median = 20 + (((25 – 14))/14) × 10

= 20 + 7.85

= 27.85

100 735

The class interval containing Nth/2 or 50th item is 35.5 – 40.5

So, 35.5 – 40.5 is the median class.

Then,

Median = l + (((N/2) – c)/f) × h

Where, l = 35.5, c = 37, f = 26, h = 5 and N = 100

Median = 35.5 + (((50 – 37))/26) × 5

= 35.5 + 2.5

Mean,

NCERT Soluitons for Class 11 Maths Chapter 15 Statistics Image 28

Where A = 64, h = 1

So, x̅ = 64 + ((0/100) × 1)

= 64 + 0

= 64

Then, the variance,

NCERT Soluitons for Class 11 Maths Chapter 15 Statistics Image 29

σ2 = (12/1002) [100(286) – 02]

= (1/10000) [28600 – 0]

= 28600/10000

= 2.86

Hence, standard deviation = σ = √2.886

= 1.691

∴ Mean = 64 and Standard Deviation = 1.691

Mean,

NCERT Soluitons for Class 11 Maths Chapter 15 Statistics Image 33

Where, A = 92.5, h = 5

So, x̅ = 92.5 + ((6/60) × 5)

= 92.5 + ½

= 92.5 + 0.5

= 93

Then, the Variance,

NCERT Soluitons for Class 11 Maths Chapter 15 Statistics Image 34

σ2 = (52/602) [60(254) – 62]

= (1/144) [15240 – 36]

= 15204/144

= 1267/12

= 105.583

Hence, standard deviation = σ = √105.583

= 10.275

∴ Mean = 93, variance = 105.583 and Standard Deviation = 10.275

Mean,

NCERT Soluitons for Class 11 Maths Chapter 15 Statistics Image 35

Where, A = 42.5, h = 4

So, x̅ = 42.5 + (25/100) × 4

= 42.5 + 1

= 43.5

Then, the Variance,

NCERT Soluitons for Class 11 Maths Chapter 15 Statistics Image 34

σ2 = (42/1002)[100(199) – 252]

= (1/625) [19900 – 625]

= 19275/625

= 771/25

= 30.84

Hence, standard deviation = σ = √30.84

= 5.553

∴ Mean = 43.5, variance = 30.84 and Standard Deviation = 5.553.

Group B 10 20 30 25 43 15 7

Solution:-

For comparing the variability or dispersion of two series, we calculate the coefficient of variance for each series. The series having greater C.V. is said to be more variable than the other. The series having lesser C.V. is said to be more consistent than the other.

Co-efficient of variation (C.V.) = (σ/ x̅) × 100

Where, σ = standard deviation, x̅ = mean

h = 10

So, x̅ = 45 + ((-6/150) × 10)

By comparing the C.V. of group A and group B.

C.V of Group B > C.V. of Group A

So, Group B is more variable.

Solution:-

From the given data,

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

X (xi) Y (yi) Xi2 Yi2

49 101 2401 10201
Total = 510 1050 26360 110290

We have to calculate Mean for x,

Mean x̅ = ∑xi/n

Where, n = number of terms

= 510/10

= 51

Then, Variance for x =NCERT Soluitons for Class 11 Maths Chapter 15 Statistics Image 41

= (1/102)[(10 × 26360) – 5102]

= (1/100) (263600 – 260100)

= 3500/100

= 35

WKT Standard deviation = √variance

= √35

= 5.91

So, co-efficient of variation = (σ/ x̅) × 100

= (5.91/51) × 100

= 11.58

Now, we have to calculate Mean for y,

Mean ȳ = ∑yi/n

Where, n = number of terms

= 1050/10

= 105

Then, Variance for y =NCERT Soluitons for Class 11 Maths Chapter 15 Statistics Image 42

= (1/102)[(10 × 110290) – 10502]

= (1/100) (1102900 – 1102500)

= 400/100

= 4

WKT Standard deviation = √variance

= √4

= 2

So, co-efficient of variation = (σ/ x̅) × 100

= (2/105) × 100

= 1.904

By comparing C.V. of X and Y,

C.V of X > C.V. of Y

So, Y is more stable than X.

3. An analysis of monthly wages paid to workers in two firms, A and B, belonging to the same industry, gives the following results:

Firm A Firm B
No. of wages earners 586 648
Mean of monthly wages Rs 5253 Rs 5253
Variance of the distribution of wages 100 121

(i) Which firm, A or B, pays a larger amount as monthly wages?

(ii) Which firm, A or B, shows greater variability in individual wages?

Solution:-

(i) From the given table,

Mean monthly wages of firm A = Rs 5253

and Number of wage earners = 586

Then,

Total amount paid = 586 × 5253

= Rs 3078258

Mean monthly wages of firm B = Rs 5253

Number of wage earners = 648

Then,

Total amount paid = 648 × 5253

= Rs 34,03,944

So, firm B pays larger amount as monthly wages.

(ii) Variance of firm A = 100

We know that, standard deviation (σ)= √100

=10

Variance of firm B = 121

Then,

Standard deviation (σ)=√(121 )

=11

Hence, the standard deviation is more in case of Firm B. That means, in firm B, there is greater variability in individual wages.

4. The following is the record of goals scored by team A in a football session:

NCERT Solutions for Class 11 Maths Chapter 15 – Statistics

The topics of Class 11 Chapter 15 – Statistics of NCERT Solution are as follows:

15.1 Introduction

This section talks about the concept of central tendency, mean and median [during even and the odd number of observations] with examples. It introduces the concept of measure of dispersion.

The values which cluster around the middle or centre of the distribution are measures of central tendency. They are mean, median and mode.

In a class, the mean can be used to find the average marks scored by the students.

When calculating the height of students, the median can be used to find the middlemost value.

15.2 Measures of Dispersion

This section defines measures of dispersion, different measures of dispersion [range, quartile deviation, mean deviation, standard deviation]

Measures of dispersion explain the relationship with measures of central tendency. For example, the spread of data tells how well the mean represents the data. If the spread is large, then the mean is not representative of the data.

15.3 Range

This section defines the range, its formula and an example.

The range gives the variability of scores using the maximum and minimum values in the set.

In a cricket match, Batsman A range = 121 – 0 = 121 and Batsman B range = 52 – 22 = 30

Range A > Range B. So, the scores are spread in the case of A, whereas for B, they are close to each other.

15.4 Mean Deviation

This section defines mean deviation, the formula for mean deviation.

The concept of mean deviation can be used by biologists in the comparison of different animal weights and deciding what would be a healthy weight.

15.4.1 Mean deviation for ungrouped data

The process of obtaining the mean deviation for ungrouped data is elaborated in this section.

Find the mean, deviations from the mean, and absolute deviations and substitute the values in the mean deviation formula and arrive at the answer.

15.4.2 Mean deviation for grouped data

The process of obtaining mean deviation for discrete and continuous frequency distributions is elaborated in this section with solved examples.

15.4.3 Limitations of mean deviation

  • If, in a series, the degree of variability is very high, then the median will not be representative of the data. Hence, the mean deviation calculated about such a median cannot be relied on.
  • If the sum of deviations from the mean is greater than the sum of deviations from the median, then the mean deviation from the mean is not very specific.
  • The absolute mean deviation calculated can’t be subjected to further algebraic treatment. It can’t be used as an appropriate measure of dispersion.

15.5 Variance and standard deviation

15.5.1 Standard Deviation

This section involves the variance and standard deviation definition, formula and solved examples of the discrete and continuous frequency distribution.

A science test was taken by a class of students. The mean score of the test was 85% on calculation. The teacher found the standard deviation of other scores and noticed that a very small standard deviation exists, which suggests that most of the students scored very close to 85%.

15.5.2 Shortcut method to find Variance and standard deviation

This section deals with the simpler way of calculating the standard deviation with a few illustrations.

15.6 Analysis of Frequency Distributions

This section deals with the process of comparing the variability of two series having the same mean, coefficient of variation with few solved problems.

A Few Points on Chapter 15 Statistics

  • The range is defined as the difference between the maximum and minimum values of the given data.
  • If there exists a series with equal means, then the series with a lesser standard deviation is more consistent or less scattered.
  • The addition or subtraction of a positive number to each data point of the data set will not affect the variance.

The solutions give substitute strategies and clarifications to solve problems which makes the student feel confident while taking the exam. Additionally, solving and practising new problems upgrades the understanding of Mathematical concepts among students. The solutions help with inquiries that a student has on the questions asked in the exam. The BYJU’S subject specialists who have written the NCERT Solutions for Class 11 Maths, according to the latest CBSE Syllabus 2023-24, have in-depth knowledge about the question paper setting and the marks distributed across the chapters.
