1. Find the arithmetic mean of 3, 6, 24, and 48 by using the Short Cut Method.

>>>>

Let assume mean A=20

No Xi Deviation Di=(Xi-A) D’i=(Xi- µ)

1 3 -17 -17.25
2 6 -14 -14.25
3 24 4 3.75
4 48 28 27.75
N=4 ∑Xi= 81 ∑Di= 1 ∑D’i=0

Now, applying short cut method,

We will get,
N

∑ Di
µ= A+ i=1
N

= 20+1/4

= 20.25

2. Find the arithmetic mean of 10, 12, 20, 15, 20, 12, 10, 15, 20, and 10 by using the
Frequency Method.

x 1+ x 2+ … … … … … ..+ xn
Arithmetic mean µ=
N

=(10+12+20+15+20+ 12+ 10+ 15+20+10 ¿/10

 = 14.4

Using Frequency Method:

No Xi Frequency Fi XiFi
1 10 3 30
2 12 2 24
3 15 2 30
4 20 3 60
N=4 ∑Xi=57 ∑Fi=10 ∑XiFi=144

∑ XiFi
µ=
∑ Fi

=144/10

µ =14.4

3. . Students of a class were divided in two groups and undergone tutorial training by
different teachers. Their scores in final exam are:
Group A: 80, 70, 50, 20, 30, 90, 10, 40, 60
Group B: 80, 70, 50, 20, 30, 90, 10, 40, 60, 100
Use formula to calculate the Median of each group. Which group shows better
performance based on Median?

>>>>

First we will arrange the scores in ascending order

Group A: 10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90

Here number of observation are 9(odd).

So,
( N + 1 ) th
Median Md=
2
 ( 9+1 ) th
=
2

= 5 th observer = 50

Group B : 10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100

Here number of observation are 10(even).

So,

N N
Median
Md=
( 2 ) th observation+ ( +1 ) th observation
2

9 9
(
= 2 ) th observation+( +1 ) th observation
2
2

= (50+60)/2

= 55

Thus Group B has better performance as median is 55.

4. An aircraft travels 200 km up to border at 700 km/hr, then 250 km up to the target in
enemy territory at 950 km/hr. After dropping the bombs, the aircraft flies at runaway
speed f 1700 km/hr to the nearest border in 150 km. Then flied at 800 km/hr to the
base in 300 km. Find the average speed of the sortie by using the Harmonic Mean.
Also find the mission time.

>>>>

For Average Speed we need to find Harmonic Mean. Thus the average sortie speed is,

Mission time = 1.012, 1 hr approx

5. Find the standard deviation by using the Direct Method for the following classified
data: Class interval 0-10 10-20 20-30 30-40 40-50 50-60 60-70
Frequency 6 14 10 8 1 3 8

Class Class Mark Frequency MiFi Di = (Mi- (Di)2 Fi(Di)2
