RBSE Class 11 Maths Chapter 15 Important Questions Statistics

Question 1.
The variance of 25 observations is 4 and if each observation is multiplied by 3, find the new variance of the resulting observations.
Answer:
Let the observations be x1, x2, x3, ......., xn andi be
their mean.
Given, variance = 4 and n = 25
RBSE Class 11 Maths Important Questions Chapter 15 Statistics 1
If each observation is multiplied by 3 and the new resulting observations are yi.
RBSE Class 11 Maths Important Questions Chapter 15 Statistics 2
Here, we see that by multiplying each observations by 3, the variance of the resulting observations becomes 32 times the original variance.

Question 2.
The variance of 20 observations is 5. If each observation is divided by 2, then find the new variance of the resulting observations.
Answer:
Let the observations be x1, x2, ........, xn and x̄ be their mean.
Given, variance =5 and n = 20
RBSE Class 11 Maths Important Questions Chapter 15 Statistics 3
Here, we see that by dividing each observation by 2, the variance of the resulting observations become \(\frac{1}{4}\) times the original variance.
Thus, variance of new observations = \(\sum_{i=1}^{20} \frac{\left(y_i-\bar{y}\right)^2}{N}\)
= \(\frac{400}{20}\) = 20 = 22 × 5 . [∵ 5 × \(\frac{1}{4}\) = \(\frac{5}{4}\)]
Here, we see that by multiplying each observation by 2, the variance of the resulting observations become 22 times the original variance.

Question 3.
Prove that variance of n observations remain unchanged If any definite number is added or subtracted to them.
Answer:
Let x1, x1, .........., xn be observations and x̄ be their mean
Then their variance = σ12 = \(\frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^n\) (xi - x̄)
If ‘a’ is added in each observation, then new observations will be y1, y2, ............................ yn
where y1 = x1 + a, y2 - x2 + a, .......... yn = xn +a
i.e., yi = xi + a .......................... (i)
RBSE Class 11 Maths Important Questions Chapter 15 Statistics 4
Thus, variance of new observations is same as the variance of original observations.

RBSE Class 11 Maths Important Questions Chapter 15 Statistics 9Question 7.
A student found mean and standard deviation of 25 observations as 56 and 2 respectively, whereas, by mistake he has taken one observation as 64. Then find correct mean and standard deviation. If Incorrect observation is removed.
Answer:
No. of observations n = 25
Incorrect mean (x̄) = 56
Incorrect standard deviation = 2
∴ Correct sum of observations Σx = nx̄ - 64 = 25 × 56 - 64 = 1336
