Master Question for Statistics
Question -
Find the values of Mean, Median, Mode, Range, Quartile Deviation, Mean Deviation and Standard Deviation from the following data -
1. Mean (M)
M = A + (∑fd / N) × i
M = A + (∑fd / N) × i
M = 106 + (0/40) × 3
2. Median (Md)
Md = L + [(N/2 - cfb) / fm] × i
Now, N/2 = 40/2 = 20, and it lies in the class 105-107
Thus, Median Class = 105-107
Md = 104.5 + [(20 - 16) / 9] × 3
= 104.5 + 1.33
= 105.83
3. Mode (Mo)
First Method -
Mode = 3 Median - 2 Mean
Mo = 3 Md - 2 M
Mo = 3 × 105.84 - 2 × 106
= 317.49 - 212
= 105.49
Second Method -
Maximum frequency is 9, thus mode class is 105-107
Mo = L + [(f1 - f0) / (2 f1 - f0 - f2)] × i
= 104.5 + [(9 - 6) / (18 - 6 - 5)] × 3
= 104.5 + 9/7
= 104.5 + 1.285
= 104.5 + 1.29
= 105.79
4. Range
Range = Upper limit of highest class - Lower limit of lowest class
Range = 122 - 90
= 32
5. Quartile Deviation
Q = (Q3 - Q1) / 2
Q1 = L + [(N/4 - cfb) / f] × i
= 98.5 + [(10 - 7) / 3] × 3
= 98.5 + 3
= 101.5
Q3 = L + [(3N / 4 - cfb) / f] × i
= 107.5 + [(30 - 25) / 5] × 3
= 107.5 + 3
= 110.5
Q = (110.5 - 101.5) / 2
= 9/2
= 4.5
6. Mean Deviation
MD = ∑|fx| / N
M = A + (∑fd / N) × i
= 106 + (0 / 40) × 3
= 106 + 0
= 106
MD = ∑|fx| / N
= 222 / 40
= 5.55
7. Standard Deviation
SD = √(∑fx² / N)
Or, SD = i × √[(∑fd² / N) - (∑fd / N)²]
M = A + (∑fd / N) × i
= 106 + (0 / 40) × 3
= 106 + 0
= 106
SD = √(∑fx² / N)
= √(2088 / 40)
= √(52.2)
= 7.22
