VARIANCE FOR GROUPED AND UNGROUPED DATA

Question 1 :

Calculate the variance of the following table.

x    2    4    6     8    10    12    14    16

f    4    4    5    15     8      5      4    5

Solution :

x

d = x-8

2-8 = -6

4-8 = -4

6-8 = -2

8-8 = 0

10-8 = 2

12-8 = 4

14-8 = 6

16-8 = 8

Σf  =  50 and Σfd²  =  804

σ2  =  √(Σfd²/Σf)

=  √(804/50)

=  16.08

Question 2 :

Find the variance of the following distribution

Class interval

20-24

25-29

30-34

35-39

40-44

45-49

Frequency

15

25

28

12

12

8

Solution :

Here we consider the first data that is class interval as (x) and no of frequency as (f).

x

f

d = x-32

22-32 = -10

27-32 = -5

32-32 = 0

37-32 = 5

42-32 = 10

47-32 = 15

d2

1200

1800

Σfd² =  5425 and Σf  =  100

 σ  =  √(Σfd²/Σf)

=  √(5425/100)

=  √54.25

=   7.37
