Basic Statistics

1. Exercises on Manual Computation of Mean & Standard Deviation

1.1 Data on 5 samples for % carbon in as follows.

3.15 3.25 3.29 3.18 3.12

Calculate the Mean & Standard Deviation

Answer : Mean 3.198 SD 0.070498
1.2 Permeability data for 10 samples of Green Sand is given below:

120, 180 160 155 125 175 110 145 175 150

Calculate the Mean and SD

Ans- Mean 149.5 SD – 24.54
Interpret these summary figures specifications are 110-200

1.3 (a) Calculate the average for the following two data sets A&B

A: 11, 15, 12, 13, 14 Average is 13

B: 11, 15 12, 130, 14 Average is 36.4

What did you learn from this exercise-

In set B there seems to be Special cause or data error

1.4 Calculate the Mean and Standard Deviation for the following two data sets A&B

1.4.1 A: 1.125, 1.785, 1.913, 1.675, 1.807, 1.325

B: 1001.125, 1001.325, 1001.675, 1001.785, 1001.807, 1001.913

Mean for A 1.605 and SD 0.31, Mean for B Average is 1001.605 and SD is 0.31

1.4.2 A: 11.125, 11.785, 11.913, 11.675, 11.807, 11.325

B: 1.1125, 1.1325, 1.1675, 1.1785, 1.1807, 1.1913

Mean for A 11.605 and SD 0.31, Mean for B Average is 1.1605 and SD is 0.031

1.4.3 A: 116, 120, 118, 119, 117

B: 2.0, 1.9, 1.8, 1.7, 1.6
Mean for A 118 and SD 1.58, Mean for B Average is 1.8 and SD is 0.158

What did you learn from these three exercises 1.4.1 through 1.4.3
In case of addition of N number, the SD remains unchanged, condition sample size
remain same.SD is directly proportionate to the n of times data is divided or
multiplied, condition sample size remain same
