Lecture 26
Question1:
Calculate the Harmonic and Geometric Mean of the following data sets 11, 10,9,8,7.
Solution:
Rearranging 7, 8, 9, 10, 11
HM= 5/0.5698
= 8.787
GM = (7*8*9*10*11) ^ (1/5)
GM = (55440) ^(.2)
=8.8872
Question2:
Find the geometric mean and harmonic mean of 80, 85, 90, 95, and 100.
Given Data: 80, 85, 90, 95, 100
Question3:
Mode=14.5
Solution:
Empirical relationship is defined as
Mean-Mode=3(Mean-Median)
Mean-Mode=3Mean-3Median
Rearranging the expression
3Mean-Mean=3Median-Mode
Mean = {(3*Median) – (Mode)} / 2
= {(3*8.97)-(14.5)}/2
= (26.91-14.5) / 2
= 12.41/2
Mean= 6.205
Question4:
Find the median, lower quartile and upper quartile for the following data:
12, 16, 36, 34, 89, 7, 22, 28, 10, 6, 10
Solution:
Rearranging data 6, 7, 10, 10, 12, 16, 22, 28, 34, 36, 89
n =11
Median =16 (Middle value of 11 value is 6th value.)
Lower Quartile is Q1
Q1= (n+1)/4
= (11+1)/4= 3
As 3rd value is 10, so first/lower quartile is 10.
The lower quartile is 10
Upper quartile is Q3
Q3 = 3(n+1) / 4
= 3 (11+1) /
= 3*12 / 4
Q3 = 9
As 9th value of data is 34.
The upper quartile is 34
Question5:
Write down the names of terms which are used to calculate dispersion of data of absolute
measures.
Solution:
Range
Quartile Deviation
Mean Deviation
Standard Deviation or Variance

Question2:
Solution:
Rearranging the data
6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 19, 21, 25, 28, 34
n = 10
Question3:
Calculate the range median, mode and mean for the following set of values:
5, 8, 5, 7, 3
Solution:
Mean
= 28/5
Mean= 5.6
Median
Arranging the data in ascending order
3, 5, 5, 7, 8
Median =5
Mode
Mode=5
Range
Range=Largest value-Smallest value =8-3=5
Question4:
Rearranging data
n=9
Q1=20
Q2 = 23
= 3(9+1)/4=3(10)/4=30/4
= 7.5
= 24 + 0.5 (27-24)
Q3 = 24 + 1.5 = 25.5
Solutions:
Rearranging data
Range = 89-45 = 44
Midrange= (Largest value + Smallest value) / 2
=67

Question2:
Calculate the mean deviation from median of the following set of marks taken by a student
Solution:
Question3:
Calculate the variance of the following data 30m, 35m, 39m, 45m and 49m.
Solution:
Mean

5 =39.6m
Taking the deviation their mean and then squaring these deviations, we get
x xx ( x - x) 2
30 30-39.6= -9.6 92.16
35 35-39.6= -4.6 21.16
39 39-39.6= -0.6 0.36
45 45-39.6= 5.4 29.16

Question4:
Calculate coefficient of variation in each case and determine which country has the greater
variability in earnings. While the mean weekly earnings of company workers in one
country were $28.50 with a standard deviation of $6, and second country weekly earning of
company worker were Rs. 95 with a standard deviation of Rs. 39.
Solution:
Mean 28.50 95
6 39
S.D 28.50
From these calculations, it is obvious that the spread of earnings in second country is greater than
that in first country.
