Statistics (Ex – 15.2)

Find the mean and variance for each of the data in Exercises 1 to 5.

Question 1.
6, 7, 10, 12, 13, 4, 8, 12

Solution:
Here x_i = 6, 7, 10, 12, 13, 4, 8, 12
∴ Σx_i = 6 + 7 + 10 + 12 + 13 + 4 + 8 + 12 = 72
n = 8

Question 2.
First n natural numbers

Solution:
Here x_i = 1, 2, 3, 4, ……….n

Question 3.
First 10 multiples of 3

Solution:
Here x_i = 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 27, 30,
Σx_i = 3 + 6 + 9 + 12 + 15 + 18 + 21 + 24 + 27 + 30 = 165
n = 10
