This document contains solutions to multiple statistics problems involving frequency distributions, measures of central tendency, measures of dispersion, and other statistical concepts. Key steps include: 1) Creating a frequency distribution from sample data and calculating cumulative and relative frequencies. 2) Calculating the geometric mean is not possible as the data set contains negative values. 3) Calculating the mode and median of a frequency table by using the relevant formulas. 4) Calculating the range and coefficient of range for a data set. 5) Recommending quartile deviation as an appropriate measure of dispersion for a data set arranged in classes.

(a)

Solution:

An array is a systematic arrangement of objects, usually in rows and


columns.

(b)
Make discrete frequency distribution from the given data,
1,2,3,2,1,2,1,3, 4,5,1,2,3,1,4,2, 2,3,2,1,4,4,4,2,1,

Also find;
 Cumulative frequencies
 Relative frequencies
Solution:

CLASS NO. Frequencies Cumulative Relative


frequency frequency
1 7 7 0.28
2 8 7+8 = 15 0.32
3 4 15+4 =19 0.16
4 5 19+5 = 24 0.2
5 1 24+1 = 25 0.04
Total 25 ----

Question no.02

(a) Find Geometric mean from the following data.


1, 2, 3,2,4,5,4,3,4,-1,4, 3,0,1,-3, 2,4
Solution:

Geometric mean can not b calculated as there are some


negative values and zero values present in the data.

(b) The weight of the 40 male students at a university is given in the


following frequency table:
Weight frequency CF
118-126 3 3
127-135 5 3+5 =
136-144 9 8+9 =
145-153 12 17+12 =
154-162 5 29+5 =
163-171 4 34+4 =
172-180 2
38+2 = (equal to
the sum of total
frequency.. !

Calculate median and mode from the above data.

Solution:
f m  f1
MODE:
X̂  1  xh
 f m  f1    f m  f 2 

12  9
 145  8
(12  9)  (12  5)

MEDIAN:

~ h n 
X  l    c
f 2 

Where l=145, h=8, f=12, n/2=20 and c = 17

Put these values in formal and then calculate…

Question no.03

(b) For given data calculate range and coefficient of range,


0.035, 0.045, 0.031, 0.044, 0.032
Solution:
Xm=0.045
X0=0.031
Range: X m  X 0 =

Xm  X0
Coefficient of range: = X X
m 0

Put the values in the formula then calculate

(c) Calculate an appropriate measure of dispersion for the following


data.
Farm Size No. of
(acre) Farms
Bellow 40 394
41-80 461
81-120 391
121-160 334
161-200 169
201-240 113
241 and 148
above

Solution:

Question solve with quartile deviation;;;

Quartile deviation = Q3 - Q1 / 2
