Q2
The
first
of
two
sub
groups
has
100
items
with
mean
15
and
standard
deviation
3.
If
the
whole
group
has
250
items
with
mean
15.6
and
standard
deviation
√13.44,
find
the
standard
deviation
of
the
second
sub-‐group.
Q3
You
are
in-‐charge
of
rationing
in
a
state
affected
by
food
shortage.
The
following
reports
arrive
from
your
local
investigators:
Daily
calories
value
of
food
available
per
adult
during
current
period:
Area
Mean
Standard
Deviation
X
2500
500
Y
2200
300
The
estimated
requirement
of
an
adult
is
taken
at
3000
calories
daily
and
the
absolute
minimum
at
1250.
Comment
on
the
reported
figure
and
determine
which

in
your
opinion
needs
more
urgent
attention?
Q4
The
arithmetic
mean
and
standard
deviation
of
a
series
of
20
items
were
calculated
by
a
student
as
20
cm
and
5
cm
respectively.
But
while
calculating
them
an
item
13
was
misread
as
30.
Find
the
correct
arithmetic
mean
and
standard
deviation.
Q5
For
asset
of
100
observations,
the
sum
of
deviations
from
4
is
-‐11,
and
the
sum
of
the
squares
of
these
deviations
is
257.
Find
the
coefficient
of
variation.
Q6
Prices
of
a
particular
commodity
in
5
cities
are
given
below:
(ii)
If
quartile
deviation
of
a
group
is
16,
what
would
be
the
most
likely
value
of
variance
of
that
group.
(iii)
If
the
first
quartile
is
142
and
the
semi-‐interquartile
range
is
18,
find
the
median
(assuming
the
distribution
to
be
symmetrical).
Q9
Verify
the
correctness
of
the
following
statements:
A
batsman
scored
at
an
average
of
60
runs
in
an
inning
against
Pakistan.
The
standard
deviation
of
the
runs
scored
by
him
was
12.
A
year
later
against
Australia,
his
average
comes
down
to
50
runs
in
an
inning
and
the
standard
deviation
of
the
runs
scored
fell
down
to
9.
Therefore,
is
it
correct
to
say
that
his
performance
was
worse
against
Australia
and
that
there
was
lesser
consistency
in
his
batting
against
Australia?
Q10
In
a
surprise
check
on
passengers
in
a
local
train,
20
ticketless
passengers
were
caught.
The
sum
of
squares
and
standard
deviation
of
the
amount
found
in
their
pockets
were
`2000
and
`6
respectively.
If
the
total
fine
imposed
on
these
passengers
is
equal
to
the
total
amount
found
in
their
pockets
and
the
fine
imposed
is
uniform,
what
is
the
amount
that
each
one
of
them
will
have
to
pay
as
fine?
Q11
For
a
group
of
30
male
workers,
the
mean
and
standard
deviation
of
weekly
overtime
work
(number
of
hours)
are
10
and
4
respectively;
for
20
female
workers
the
mean
and
standard
deviation
are
5
and
3
respectively.
(i)
Calculate
the
mean
for
two
groups
taken
together.
(ii)
Is
the
overtime
work
more
variable
for
male
group
than
for
the
female
group?
Explain.

the
