f. A student gets the following grades in his seven subjects: 87 for Calculus, 82
for Physics, 79 for Chemistry, 81 for English and 83 for History. Compute for
his mean grade if the weights for the five subjects are 5.0, 4.0, 4.0, 3.0 and
3.0, respectively.

g. It was recorded that 5 brands of ballpen with tag prices of ₱7.50, ₱8.00,
₱9.00, ₱10.00 and ₱12.50 were bought by 16, 5, 4, 12 and 6 students. Find
the mean sale.
h. Jessie Salvador, an Engineering student got 88%, 85%, 91% and 93% in four
of his subjects. What grade must he get in his fifth subject in order to obtain
an average of 90%?
i. The table below shows the number of respondents who answered 5, 4, 3, 2
and 1 on three questions. Compute for the weighted mean and give the mean
interpretation using the scale below:

Mean Interpretation
1.00 – 1.79 To a Very Slight Extent (VSE)
1.80 – 2.59 To a Slight Extent (SE)
2.60 – 3.39 To a Moderate Extent (ME)

Measures of Variability or Dispersion

a. The monthly number of cars sold by a car dealer from January to October for a
particular year are: 20 24 12 10 18 4 15 6 11 19.

Find the range, variance and standard deviation.

b. Sample annual salaries, in thousands of pesos, for Manila and Makati are listed.
Manila: 34 25 17 17 27 25 29 33 26
Makati: 26 23 27 28 25 26 18 26 31

*Compute for the range, variance and standard deviation; and interpret the result.
*In which area salary is more consistent?

Therefore, Makati’s
area salary is more
consistent.

Activity 3
Coefficient of Variation

1. A random sample of 10 students in a Statistics class got a mean score of 78%

with a standard deviation of 7% and a mean weight of 105 pounds with a
standard deviation of 10 pounds. Determine the coefficient of variation.

2. In a barangay health center with no more than a hundred patients, a distribution

of two different units is given to compare the dispersion of weights with the
dispersion of heights. The mean height is 5.7 feet with a standard deviation of 0.9
feet and the mean weight is 72.5 kilograms with a standard deviation of 8.1
kilograms.

3. Two employees A and B are to compare their daily routine of work. A can finish
his job with an average of 1.5 hours with a standard deviation of 0.025 hour,
whereas B can finish the job with an average of 4 hours and a standard deviation
of 0.01 hour. Who is more consistent?
4. A dealer of an electronic adaptor sells two classes of adaptor, A and B. Adaptor A
has a mean life span of 2 100 hours with a standard deviation of 150 hours, while
Adaptor B has a mean life span of 2 600 hours with a standard deviation of 200
hours. Which adaptor has the greater relative dispersion? Which is more
consistent?

b. 𝑥̅̃= 100 𝑥̅ = 120 s = 11.5
c. 𝑥̅ = 75 𝑥̅̃= 85 s = 6.2
d. 𝑥̅̃= 295 𝑥̅ = 250 s = 35

2. At Saint Mary’s Academy, the mean age of the students is 19.2 years, with a
standard deviation of 1.2 years. The median age is 18.6 years. Compute the
coefficient of skewness. Describe the skewness.
