Tamilnadu Samacheer Kalvi 10th Maths Solutions Chapter 8 Statistics and Probability Ex 8.2

Question 1.
The standard deviation and mean of a data are 6.5 and 12.5 respectively. Find the coefficient of variation.
Answer:
Standard deviation of a data (σ) = 6.5
Mean of the data (\(\bar{x}\)) = 12.5
Coefficient of variation = \(\frac{\sigma}{\bar{x}} \times 100 \%\)
= \(\frac{6.5}{12.5} \times 100 \%=52 \%\)
Coefficient of variation = 52%

Question 2.
The standard deviation and coefficient of variation of a data are 1.2 and 25.6 respectively. Find the value of mean.
Answer:
Standard deviation (σ) = 1.2
Coefficient of variation = 25.6

Question 7.
The total marks scored by two students Sathya and Vidhya in 5 subjects are 460 and 480 with standard deviation of 4.6 and 2.4 respectively. Who is more consistent in performance?
Answer:
Total marks scored by sathya = 460
Total marks scored by vidhya = 480
Number of subjects = 5
Mean marks of sathya = \(\frac{460}{5}\)
\(\bar{x}\) = 92%
Given standard deviation, (σ) = 4.6
Samacheer Kalvi 10th Maths Guide Chapter 8 Statistics and Probability Ex 8.2 Q7
Vidhya coefficient of variation is less than Sathya.
Vidhya is more consistent.

Question 8.
The mean and standard deviation of marks obtained by 40 students of a class in three subjects Mathematics, Science and Social Science are given below.
Samacheer Kalvi 10th Maths Guide Chapter 8 Statistics and Probability Ex 8.2 Q8
Which of the three subjects shows the highest variation and which shows the lowest variation in marks?
Answer:
(i) Mathematics:
Mean (\(\bar{x}\)) = 56
Standard deviation (σ) = 12
Coefficient variation (CV1) = \(\frac{\sigma}{\bar{x}} \times 100=\frac{12}{56} \times 100\)
Samacheer Kalvi 10th Maths Guide Chapter 8 Statistics and Probability Ex 8.2 Q8.1
Science shows the highest variation
Social science shows the lowest variation
