1A:

If the variance is 0, that means the numbers are constant and also, the number and the
mean would be the same. It's not much use in our analysis as all the numbers and their mean is
same. So, we can say that the variance would not help us in the analysis but we can get a clue that
the numbers are constant in case whatever the data we have is only that variance as 0.

2A:

Given data :

A
7
6
7
7
8
5
8
7
7
5
5

Mean = " 𝑿"= Σx / N

MEAN :

SUM OF ALL NUMBERS DIVIDED BY THE TOTAL NUMBER OF ENTRIES

" 𝑿" = ( 7+6+7+7+8+5+8+7+7+5+5 ) ÷ 11

" 𝑿" = 72 ÷ 11 =6.545

MEAN = 6.545

MEDIAN :

It is simply another name for 50th PERCENTILE and the Median is often used when
the distribution of scores is either positively skewed or negatively skewed.

Arrange the numbers in incremental order and if there is even number of numbers, take the
mean of the 2 numbers at the center,if there is odd number of numbers the number at the center
is median.

2A :

Given numbers = 7,6,7,7,8,5,8,7,7,5,5

In Incremental Order = 5,5,5,6,7,7,7,7,7,8,8

There are 11 numbers , so the number at the center is (median) " 7"

MEDIAN = " 7 "

MODE : The mode is a score that occurs frequently in a dataset.

The mode is used with nominally scaled data.

It is the only measure of central tendency that is appropriate for nominally scaled data.

In this DATASET : 7,6,7,7,8,5,8,7,7,5,5

The Repeated and Frequently occured Score is " 7 " , So the MODE IS " 7 "

MODE = ' 7 '

VARIANCE :

Variance measures how far a set of numbers spread out from their mean.

Variance can be calculated as

S2 = ∑( xi - 𝒙 )2/n-1

xi 𝒙 (xi - 𝒙 ) (xi - 𝒙 )2
7 6.545 0.455 0.207025
6 6.545 -0.545 0.297025
7 6.545 0.455 0.207025
7 6.545 0.455 0.207025
8 6.545 1.455 2.117025
5 6.545 -1.545 2.387025
8 6.545 1.455 2.117025
7 6.545 0.455 0.207025
7 6.545 0.455 0.207025
5 6.545 -1.455 2.387025

5 6.545 -1.455 2.387025

SUM : 72 SUM : 12.727275

VARIANCE = ∑( xi - 𝒙 )2/n-1

S2 = 12.727275/10

VARIANCE ( S2 ) = 1.2727275

2A:

STANDARD DEVIATION :

Standard deviation tell you how much data deviates from

actual mean.

It is the Square root of the Variance.

N
S = 1 / N − 1 ( xi − x) 2
i =1

( VARIANCE) S = √𝟏. 𝟐𝟕𝟐𝟕𝟐𝟕𝟓

STANDARD DEVIATION = " 1.1281522504 "

3A :

As there are 12 scores and the mean is the "Average" of all the numbers , If the
large score is increased by 36 points , Then the mean will be increased by " 3 ".

4A :

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DATA SINGULAR AND DATA PLURAL

DATA SINGULAR DATA PLURAL

The value of the variable associated with
one element of a population or sample is
referred to as data singular.This value may
be a word , or a symbol.
In this data singular element associated.
The set of values collected for the variable
from each of the elements belonging to the
sample is referred to as data plural.
In this data more than two elements
associated.

Because it may have different values but only It has set of values associated with one
associated with one element. column.
EXAMPLE : EXAMPLE :

A A
5 5
7 6
8 8
9
Here we can see only one element ' 5 ' is 10
associated with variable/column A.
Here we can see set of all the elements
'5,6,8,9,10 ' is associated with variable/column
A.
So, that it is said to be DATA SINGULAR So, that it is said to be DATA PLURAL
It's has single value. It has many values.

INFERENTIAL STATISTICS :

The statistical technique which uses sample data to make

estimates , decisions , predictions or other generalizations about a larger set of data.

EXAMPLE :

" POPULATION SURVEY USING INFRENTIAL STATISTICS "

_ Sample.
