  • Find the mean, variance and standard deviation using short-cut method. (10)

10.  The diameters of circles (in mm) drawn in a design are given below:

Diameters 33-36 37-40 41-44 45-48 49-52
No. of circles 15 17 21 22 25

Calculate the standard deviation and mean diameter of the circles.
[ Hint First make the data continuous by making the classes as 32.5-36.5,36.5-40.4,40.5-44.5,44.5-48.5,48.5-52.5  and then proceed.]

Let the assumed mean, A = 92.5 and h = 5

Diameters

No. of

circles f_i

Midpoint

x_i

 \dpi{100} y_i = \frac{x_i-A}{h} y_i^2 f_iy_i f_iy_i^2
32.5-36.5 15 34.5 -2 4 -30 60
36.5-40.5 17 38.5 -1 1 -17 17
40.5-44.5 21 42.5 0 0 0 0
44.5-48.5 22 46.5 1 1 22 22
48.5-52.5 25 50.5 2 4 50 100
 

\sum{f_i} =N = 100

  

 

  

\sum f_iy_i

= 25

\sum f_iy_i ^2

=199

Mean,

\overline{x} = A + \frac{1}{N}\sum_{i=1}^{n}f_iy_i\times h =42.5 + \frac{25}{100}\times4 = 43.5

We know, Variance, \sigma^2 = \frac{1}{N^2}\left [N\sum f_iy_i^2 - (\sum f_iy_i)^2 \right ]\times h^2

\\ \implies \sigma^2 = \frac{1}{(100)^2}\left [100(199) - (25)^2 \right ]\times4^2 \\ = \frac{1}{625}\left [19900 - 625 \right ] \\ = \frac{19275}{625} = 30.84

We know,  Standard Deviation = \sigma = \sqrt{Variance}

\therefore \sigma = \sqrt{30.84} = 5.553

Hence, Mean = 43.5, Variance = 30.84 and Standard Deviation = 5.553
