Q 4. Calculate the Mean and Median of the following frequency distribution. (10) Marks No.

of Students

0 - 10 10 - 20 20 - 30 30 - 40 40 - 50 50 - 60 60 - 70 Answer:
Mean (Calculated by long method) Mean (M) = fX/N

3 6 5 8 15 6 10

Mid point of each class interval (X) = Upper limit + Lower limit of class interval /2 fX = frequency of a class interval corresponding mid point (X) fX = Total sum of fX N = Total number of observations or frequencies
Marks 0-10 10-20 20-30 30-40 40-50 50-60 60-70 No. of Students (f) 3 6 5 8 15 6 10 N = 53 X 5 15 25 35 45 55 65 fX 3 5 = 15 6 15 = 90 5 25 = 125 8 35 = 280 15 45 = 675 6 55 = 330 10 65 = 650 fX = 2165

N = 53

Efx = 2165 M= Mean = 2165 53 = 40.85

Median Median =   

N = Total number of frequencies N/2 = One half of the total number of frequencies l = Exact lower limit of the class interval within which the median lies The class interval within which the median lies is found out by calculating the half of total number of frequencies (N/2) followed by counting and adding the frequencies from first to last interval and vice-versa, to locate the class-interval in which the calculated N/2 lies. This will lead to the interval within which the median falls. F = Sum of frequencies of all intervals from the lowest interval up to l fm = Frequency of the interval within which the median falls i = length of the interval
Marks 0-10 10-20 20-30 30-40 40-50 50-60 60-70 No. of Students (f) 3 6 5 8 15 6 10 N = 53

N = 53 N/2 = 53/2 = 26.5

The class interval 40-50 should possibly have the median. Upon counting and adding frequencies from the last to first interval and vice-versa, we find 26.5 lies in the interval 40 50. l = 40 F = 3+6+5+8 = 22* fm = 15 i = 10 Median = Mdn = Mdn = 40 + Mdn = Mdn = Mdn = 43 Therefore, Median is 43.          

Q 5. Compute Standard Deviation of the following scores. (10)

IQ 80 - 84 85 - 89 90 - 94 95 - 99 100 -104 105 -109 110 -114 115 -119 120 - 124

No. of Students 7 10 5 12 20 25 32 27 18

Answer:
Standard Deviation (Calculated by Long Method) Standard Deviation SD =  N = Total number of frequencies f = Frequency of a class interval X = Mid point of a class interval
Class intervals of IQ 80 - 84 85 89 90 94 95 -99 100 104 105 109 110 114 115 119 120 - 124 No. of students (f) 7 10 5 12 20 25 32 27 18 N = 156 Mid point (X) 82 87 92 97 102 107 112 117 122 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 16 9 4 1 0 1 4 9 16 112 90 20 12 0 25 128 243 288 918 -28 -30 -10 -12 0 25 64 81 72 162 d= f f.d

N = 156 Frequency = f Assume Mean (AM) = 102 Interval(i)= 5

According to formula:

SD =  SD = SD = 5 SD = 5 SD = 5 SD = 5 2.1 SD = 10.5 

 

Therefore, Standard deviation of the IQ scores of the students in 10.5

Q 7. In a Psychology examination the marks obtained by two groups of students are given below. Examine the significance of difference between the means of the marks obtained by the students of two groups (10)

First Group Second Group

: 50 : 35

49 18 30 29

20 34 22 61 60 28 46 15 55 54

56 47

Answer:
N = Total number of subjects X = Sum total of subjects Median (M) = X/N t value of two groups :

t=
 

Standard Error Difference (SED) between 2 groups SED = SD

Standard Deviation (x) = X M

Standard Deviation SD =

Degree of freedom (df) = (N +N - 2)

First group (X ) 50 49 18 20 34 22 61 60 56 X = 370

SD (x ) = X M 8.9 -7.9 -23.1 -21.1 -7.1 -19.1 19.9 18.9 14.9 79.21 62.41 533.61 445.21 50.41 364.81 396.01 357.21 222.01 2510.89

Second group (X ) 35 30 29 28 46 15 55 54 47 X = 339

SD (x ) = X M -2.6 -7.6 -8.6 -9.6 8.4 -22.6 17.4 16.4 9.4 6.76 57.76 73.96 92.16 70.56 510.76 302.76 268.96 88.36 1472.04

First Group X = 370 N =9 Median of first group (M ) = X /N = 370/9 = 41.1 Second Group X = 339 N =9 Median of second group (M ) = X /N = 339/9 = 37.6

Formula for t test is: t= SED = SD

 

---1 ---2

SD =

---3

From -3
SD = SD =  SD = SD = 15.77


From-2
SED = SED = SED = SED = SED = 6.3        

From-1
t value = t value = t value = t value =
   

Degree of freedom (df):

df = (N +N - 2) df = (9+9 - 2) df = 18 2 df = 16

Upon entering the value on 16 df, we get 2.12 at the 0.5 and 2.91 at the 0.1 level. t value (0.55) is less than 2.12 and 2.91 Therefore, we will say that the significance of difference between the means of the marks obtained by the students of two groups is Non Significant .

Mean = f/N X = Sum total of marks of psychology Y = Sum total of marks of statistics N (Total no. of subjects) = 8 M1 (Mean of X) = 51.25 M2 (Mean of Y) = 56.25 x = Standard deviation of X = X M1 y = Standard deviation of Y = Y M2 x2 = Square of SD of X y2 = Square of SD of Y x2 (Sum total of squares of SD of X) = 3487.5 y2 (Sum total of squares of SD of Y)= 2737.5 xy = Multiplication of standard deviation of X with standard deviation of y xy (Sum total of SD of X multiplied by SD of Y) = 2562.5

Pearson Product Moment Correlation Formula (r):

r=
x= x= x= x= y= y= y= y = 18.4 r (Pearson s Product Moment Correlation Coefficient) = r=  r= r= r = 0.83 r = +0.83  

Since r = +0.83 which is closer to +1, the marks of psychology and marks of statistics have a stronger positive correlation.
