Sample Problems With Answers For Measures of Variability

The document provides two sample problems with data and step-by-step solutions for calculating measures of variability, including the mean, mean deviation, variance, and standard deviation. The first problem provides price data for books and calculates the mean, mean deviation, and absolute deviation. The second problem provides customer spending data for a fast food restaurant and calculates the mean, variance, and standard deviation.

SAMPLE PROBLEMS WITH ANSWERS FOR MEASURES OF

VARIABILITY
1.The following data: P435, P282, P350, P420, P340, P395, P339 and P375, are the prices of
seven books randomly selected from a university bookstore. Complete the table and find the
mean deviation.
Solution:

x x−x |x−x|
435 68 68 n= 8___

282 -85 85
∑ ❑ x=2,936
❑

350 -17 17 x=367


❑
420 53 53
∑

375 8 8

2. The supervisor of the fast-food restaurant selected several receipts at random. The amounts
spent by customers were P75, P60, P65, P62,P80, P83, P89, and 78. Complete the table and
find the variance and standard deviation.
